Through site-specific interventions, the design of electronic devices, audiovisual documentation, process-oriented projects, sculpture, actions, and publications in diverse formats, Mario de Vega’s research explores the potential of unstable systems and the value of vulnerability. His work has been exhibited internationally, as have his sound performances, and he has been awarded several grants, awards and residencies in Mexico, Germany, Canada, and Austria.

In 2013 he was awarded the Transitio Prize. His work is represented in Mexico by Marso Gallery, Mexico City.
