Mark Prier’s multimedia work deals with themes of wilderness, mapping, and survival. His work takes the vernacular of survival as its starting point for abstraction, teasing form from sources as diverse as lean-tos, hunting blinds, camping shelters, and farm maintenance. He has exhibited in Canada, Mexico, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Prier is a graduate of the Visual Studies program at the University of Toronto.

As half of the electronica duo hellothisisalex, Prier has played the MUTEK Festival in Montreal, done commissions for CBC Radio, and taken part in the National Film Board of Canada’s Minus 40 project. Prier lives in Hopeville, Ontario, Canada.
