Mark Nugent

Mark Nugent was a prolific British and Canadian filmmaker, digital artist and writer.

Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, Nugent emigrated to Canada with his family when he was seven.

Nugent received a BFA in Film Production from Concordia University. He went on to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on scholarship and obtained a Master's in Fine Arts for Film Production.

Nugent collaborated with a number of musicians (including Download, Dead Voices on Air,Coil, FAT, Nimrod, Hafler Trio, Bruce Gilbert, Vent du Mont Scharr and Elliott Sharp) to create experimental films and live presentations. He founded and toured with Roughage, a Montreal-based mixed-media performance group, and briefly worked for Chicago's H-Gun, producing commercial music videos. Until recently, his art was part of a genre that rarely attracted critical attention from anyone other than his peers.

In the late 1980s, Nugent travelled with the band FAT to Morocco and collected Super-8 footage that he would later use in his 1989 video "Inverse Proportions" on YouTube for the Elliott Sharp-led ensemble Carbon, and in his 1992 "Dark River" video on YouTube for the band Coil.
