Marc Vilanova is a sound and visual artist based in Barcelona, Spain. His works take the form of expanded sculptures that create a dialogue between sound, light, and movement. Through technological and material experimentation, his practice engages with acoustic ecology, posthumanism, and the thresholds of perception. His intimate, sensorial environments invite deep listening as a form of environmental awareness, fostering attunement to the more-than-human world.
Vilanova has participated in numerous exhibitions and presentations at cultural institutions, museums, festivals, and international biennials. Recent highlights include BIENALSUR (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the Saudi Museum of Contemporary Art (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), the Science Gallery (Melbourne, Australia), L’Auditori de Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain), FILE (São Paulo, Brazil), Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), and Tokyo Wonder Site (Tokyo, Japan). He has received various grants, awards, and residencies, including the Headlands Center for the Arts Fellowship, San Francisco (2022), the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts Fellowship, Omaha (2019), the KARA Prize, Tehran (2018), and the Tokyo Experimental Festival Promotion Prize (2016).
