Mario De Vega

Mario de Vega (Mexico City, 1979). Works in Berlin & Mexico City. His work overlaps relations between stability, failure, simulation and ambiguity with site-specific interventions, sound events, electronic devices, process-oriented projects and sculpture. As sound improviser, his practice explores the value of fragility & in-determination involving a wide range of customized objects, analog and modified electronics, turntables and computer based interfaces in different combinations performing solo or in collaboration with several musicians

Amphibiaibomma
Huge Tip! 200 copies. Mario de Vega engages with sound as a tangible medium to exasperate perception. For over 20 years, de Vega’s work has been exhibited as large scale commissioned interventions leaning towards liminal zones of aurality, ephemeral situations -often displayed as detritus of actions, prints, materials and publications-, sculpture, performative settings, and three-dimensional formats.  A M P H I B I A I B I H P M A (Amphibiaibomma) is a studio work composed between 2020 and 2024.…
Thermal
Mario De Vega, Mexican artist living in Berlin, focuses his research on natural vibrations using the resonance frequencies of the space. Thermal is part of an ongoing project around the idea of vulnerability, the molecular excitation, receiving high frequency and amplification of electromagnetic phenomena. Mario De Vega (Mexico City, 1979) : De Vega constructs systems and situations that investigate connections between the living and the inert, exploring space and time in terms of both performan…

Edition of 200. An immersion into Classics. That kind of Classics which holds in his pantheon Pierre Henri and Pierre Schaeffer, even though I should maybe refer to Michel Chion, given the powerful dramatic intensity displayed by these two compositions.Mario De Vega has once again proved himself a master at mixing in his works all of the elements that make me love electro-acoustic music so much. The unpredictability of the sound sources, some sort of spectral musicality, and the sudden Moves; th…
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Smells Like Teen Spirit is premised in a haptic interrogation of each of the label's previous editions. Berlin-based and Mexico City-born multi-disciplinary artist Mario de Vega occupied the gallery space of Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) for three consecutive days in October 2016 with a hitherto complete Tochnit Aleph catalog, sanding machine, hammer, and recording equipment. Conflating acts of "playing" with destruction, de Vega took to the recorded works and assorted media with his Spartan too…

Solve
Mixed and composed by Mario DeVega, artwork and production Kristina Frei 2009. Working with unstable media involving a wide range of electronic devices and acoustic resonators, Mario de Vega explores the value of instability and the potential of its failure. Through site-specific projects, sculpture, documentation of ephemeral interventions and publications, his work overlaps relations between failure, vulnerability and simulation. Probably the most active and outstanding mexican sound artist, h…
