diewiththemostlikes, whose real name is Mark Wilson, is an Indiana-based artist and writer whose absurdist, Kafka-influenced work confronts social media obsession and overconsumption.,His pieces pair raw, often visceral imagery with his own poetry and fiction, exploring despair, longing and the fleetingness of life.,
Before turning fully to visual art, he wrote poetry, which shaped the literary voice that still runs through his practice.He self-published the satirical novel An Eye for an Eye and Your Other Eye and the Rest of Your Family under the alter ego Mark Baldacci, later serializing it online in chapters.His work has been shown in early digital art exhibitions in Milan, at the “Decentralized Art Pavilion” during the Venice Biennale, and in Times Square as part of the “Armory Show”.,In 2025 a piece of his was included in “Groundwork”, a group show of Web3 and pre-NFT digital artists at Heft Gallery in New York.
His 2024 generative collection nameless dread presents 669 hand-drawn portraits of office workers framed inside a drawn Zoom interface, each nested within a procedurally generated animated background. Rendered in a soft watercolor style at odds with their grotesque, decaying features, the portraits are accompanied by autonomously generated text lamenting work and consumption, evoking memento mori imagery and the mood the French poet Charles Baudelaire called spleen.The collection sold out on Art Blocks for 133.8 ETH.
His 2026 series dying is not enough, made with Glitch Gallery, comprises seventy-five glitch-flickered animations of figures being put to death or reduced to death-like states through meaningless work, continuing his recurring focus on transience without offering consolation.Eli Scheinman, Director of Art at Proof and Yuga Labs, has recommended his work to new collectors for the way its visceral shock gives way, on closer engagement, to a thoughtful, carefully written body of work.
