MARCK

The Swiss artist known professionally as MARCK was born in Zurich in 1964 and started his professional career within the field of engineering. It could be argued that this is what has allowed him to create his own innovative discipline of integrated video art (IVA). From childhood, the artist first created films with Super8, then later with VHS and Hi8. Towards the end of the 1990s, he started using non-linear editing on his computer, gradually acquiring the skills necessary for video art and IVA. His initial career in engineering refined his proficiency within the fields of electronics and mechanics, but it was the chance encounter with the works of the famous Korean/American video artist Nam June Paik that prompted MARCK to get involved with art full time.

MARCK’s works have been shown around the world, from the USA (Miami, Chicago, San Francisco) to Taiwan, Turkey, and Canada. They are currently included in a number of established collections worldwide.
