Mark's work is typically experimental, combining art and technology and has shown locally, nationally and internationally. He has used various processes such as high voltage static electricity and ink, and also wireless cameras and projection equipment to record buildings under demolition from within. The work is often site specific, for example his installations at the Great Eastern Hotel, London as part of the Arts Council Escalator programme. Recent work has used a network of LED's triggered by mobile phones. This idea was developed further in "Lightships", a commission for Ipswich Borough Council's new offices installed in early 2007.

Mark experiments and plays with technology. He picks apart the components and processes which make things work. Putting them back together in his own way, he comments on the world around him. People are also a part of his work either as a source of inspiration or as participants.

"Mark Dixon is fascinated by the intersection of people and places in the present and diachronically. He's drawn to ghostly or unearthly presences, whether it's filaments of static flashing between two charged points, or the absence of a local railway track that once linked village to town to city in East Anglia. Like a railway system, he likes to connect disparate sites and create that spark of knowing-you're-thinking, when a fresh mental connection makes a new pathway for our brain's neurons" Cherry Smyth
