Mark Požlep (rojen 1981, Slovenija) je diplomiral in magistriral na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani ter opravil nadaljevalni magistrski študij transmedije na Sint-Lukas Campus v Bruslju in HISK v Gentu. Deluje na področju vizualnih in performativnih umetnosti, prostorskih instalacij in video umetnosti.
