Mars Dietz is an intermedia sound artist from Brooklyn. Mars is someone you could meet on a train, or on the sidewalk, or through friends, or through this paragraph.
Mars' hybrid background includes multi-channel sound performance, electronic music production and sound design, and further interdisciplinary / conceptual media in a research-driven practice bent on historical analysis.
Topics of interest include histories and fallout of extractivism; a critique of the human, rights, and human rights; transtemporal and epistolary relationships; the affective power of technology, the royal we, and pseudo-institutions. Sometimes Mars also composes love songs about people and bodies of water.
In 2025, Mars is thinking about outdoor sound, electromagnetic signals, astronomical and gravitational time, and event organizing. Mars is honored to be a current artist in residence at MakerSpace NYC, working on a year-long, outdoor composition for a custom 70v horn system, using specialized field recordings from disused post-industrial waterfronts and waste sites along the New York City waterways.
