Dave Greber (b. 1982, Philadelphia) is a Baltimore-based interdisciplinary artist working across video, immersive installation, web-based interactive work, mirrors, and sculptural objects. His environments layer projection-mapped fabric, kinetic machines, sound, and multi-channel CRT televisions, adopting the seductive voice of branded media in order to turn it against itself: work that probes how content shapes perception, desire, and belief.

Though much of his work begins on a computer, Greber periodically leaves the screen to work in the open air. He has thru-hiked the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail, brewed wild-foraged beverages on the Norwegian coast, walked the western coast of Latvia as an augmented-reality project, and written a conceptual LARP staged across New Orleans. Nearly all of his projects are collaborative, an ethic carried over from his film school training; in his site-specific work, the collaborators expand to include landscape, architecture, and context.

Greber began exhibiting as a member of the New Orleans artist collective The Front. His work has since appeared at the Whitney Museum of American Art (Dreamlands, as part of Lorna Mills' Ways of Something), in Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art's nationally touring State of the Art, at the Museum of the Moving Image, and the Katonah Museum of Art, with solo exhibitions at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Figge Art Museum. His work has been covered in Artforum, Art in America, Hyperallergic, and Rhizome, and Oxford American named him among its "100 Under 100: the New Superstars of Southern Art." In 2018, MTA Arts & Design commissioned SKYYYS™, a 52-channel video installation that ran throughout Lower Manhattan's Fulton Center for nine months. His work is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Crystal Bridges, Meow Wolf's House of Eternal Return, and the Rhizome Artbase at the New Museum. A 2025 Baker Artist Award finalist, he has held residencies in Norway, Estonia, Russia, and Latvia.

Greber lives in Baltimore and teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
