Mark Cetilia is an interdisciplinary artist whose practices exists at the nexus of sound and image, analog and digital. Exploring the possibilities of generative systems in art, design, and sonic practice, Cetilia’s work is an exercise in carefully controlled chaos. Over the past two decades, 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, described by the Oxford University Press’ Grove Dictionary of American Music as “a complex cybernetic entity, comprised of two human artists plus their instruments” whose “evolving, custom-built systems are as important an aspect of the duo’s achievements as their ever-innovative sound.” He is also a member of the experimental media art group Redux, recipients of a Creative Capital grant in Emerging Fields for Callspace, a monumental sound installation that reverses the paradigm through which cellular telephony removes users from their surroundings by networking site-specific sounds to a central listening environment.

Cetilia’s work has been screened / installed at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), O’ (Milan), the Ben-Ari Museum of Contemporary Art (Bat Yam), Oboro (Montréal), SoundWalk (Long Beach), and R.K. Projects (Providence). He has performed widely at venues including Café OTO (London), the Borealis Festival (Bergen), STEIM (Amsterdam), Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, Roulette (NYC), Goethe-Institut (Boston), Issue Project Room (Brooklyn), Menza Pri Koritu (Ljubljana), Uganda (Jerusalem), the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Sound of Mu (Oslo) and Electronic Church (Berlin).

His sound works have been published by MORE Records, YDLMIER, Lacryphagy, Interval Recordings, Radical Matters, Dragon’s Eye Recordings, Farmacia 901, Iynges, Anarchymoon, Quiet Design, and the Estuary Ltd. imprint, which he runs with his partner Laura Cetilia. He lives and works in Providence, RI, where he teaches classes on sound, visual art, and technology at the Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University.
