Mark Burchick is a Capital Emmy-award winning filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist from Baltimore, Maryland. He holds an MFA in Studio Arts from Towson University.
Sourcing from academic fields such as religious and folklore studies, anthropology, and psychology, his current body of work involves the study of belief and the roles that media and technology play in influencing our beliefs. These conceptually driven single channel videos and interactive multimedia installations invite viewers to question their perceptions and examine how belief systems have structured our world.
View the digital exhibition for my latest project Felt Presence, which is currently on view at the Delaware Contemporary – September 5th through December 28th and the Loyola University Julio Art Gallery – October 15th through November 19th.
A new essay informed by this body of work will be published in The Delaware Contemporary’s 2025 Biennial Anthology, “Artifice: Implications for Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” on October 3rd. The work will be discussed in a forthcoming online conference hosted by the Society for the Anthropology of Religion entitled “Divine Devices” – October 30th and 31st.
Burchick works as a Multimedia Technician for the Department of Electronic Media and Film at Towson University, and he continues to freelance in the commercial film industry. His research has been published in academic journals and in presentations given to the American Academy of Religion. View his CV and contact information, and follow him on Instagram and BlueSky.
