About Michael St.Mark

Conceptual / experimental multi-discipline artist, writer and photographer. Art influencer and founder of London Dada, recalling Dada's original aims and principles as envisaged by it's founder Hugo Ball. Eschews the often politically-motivated taboo on expressions of critical thought within art. Admiring Duchamp in going beyond the seemingly endless infatuation with the ' pretty picture' retinal and instead refusing to accept the standards and practices of an established corrupt art world and creatively stifling conventions that are still considered essential to attain fame and financial success: refusing to repeat himself or to develop one recognizable style to placate the commercial needs of the market.

Work No. 5, Cyber tribute to Bridget Riley
( Stack of random double-spaced keyboard strokes using underscore and bold )
c. Michael St.Mark 2005

First cyber art concept – existing in cyberspace only.

Modest in content but revolutionary given the time frame – as far as is known the first expression of the concept of art existing solely on-screen in cyberspace only – pre-dating by far the 2014 introduction of the for-profit contemporary NFT art market trade ability – the eternal yet temporal property of all who view.

Dialect.

Men in skins are whispering
“I don’t know how this happened but”
Long hair brushes my skin
” there are earthworms on the bathroom floor”
I struggle from the sleep of ghosts
” a caterpillar was there yesterday”
