Mark Cetilia

Mark Cetilia is a sound / media artist working at the nexus of analogue and digital technologies. Exploring the possibilities of generative systems in art, design, and sound creation, Cetilia's work is an exercise in carefully controlled chaos. Over the past decade, he has worked to develop idiomatic performance systems utilizing custom hardware and software, manifesting in a rich tapestry of sound and image. Mark is a member of the electroacoustic ensemble Mem1 and the experimental media art group Redux, recipients of a 2006 Creative Capital grant for their Callspace project. He received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and is currently pursuing his Ph.D in computer music and multimedia at Brown University. He has taught classes and workshops on sound, video and programming at the Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University, TELIC Arts Exchange (Los Angeles, CA), and Spullenmannen (Amersfoort, NL).

Cetilia's work has been screened and installed at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London, UK), the Ben-Ari Museum of Contemporary Art (Bat Yam, IL), R.K. Projects (Providence, RI), the Atlantic Center for the Arts (New Smyrna Beach, FL), and SoundWalk (Long Beach, CA). He has performed widely at venues such as Roulette (New York, NY), REDCAT / Disney Hall (Los Angeles, CA), the Borealis Festival (Bergen, NO), STEIM (Amsterdam, NL), Menza Pri Koritu (Ljubljana, SI), St. Patrick's Cathedral (New York, NY), Goethe-Institut (Boston, MA), Issue Project Room (Brooklyn, NY), and Electronic Church (Berlin, DE). His solo sound works have been published by Iynges, Anarchymoon and Quiet Design. Throughout their career, his group Mem1 has collaborated with a variety of artists including the Penderecki String Quartet, Steve Roden, Jan Jelinek, Frank Bretschneider, Jeremy Drake, and Stephen Vitiello. Together, Mem1 curates the experimental music series Ctrl+Alt+Repeat and the record label Estuary Ltd.
