Marcvs

Marcvs (aka Marcus Couto) is a sound artist and electronic music producer, recognized by outlets such as The Wire Magazine and Vice for his work at the frontier of experimental techno. He participated in the Hy Brazil compilation, dedicated to emerging talents of the Brazilian electronic scene, with coverage in Spin magazine by music critic Philip Sherburne. He has released on labels such as Step In, TRNQR, and currently on Problemas dos Outros. Born in Santo André, São Paulo, his practice is marked by the radical exploration of sound and the creation of atmospheres that move between the club and contemporary art. In the visual arts, he develops a body of work that includes painting, inspired by surrealism, exploring images of the unconscious, dreamlike landscapes, and the darker side of the mind. This imagetic investigation also unfolds into radical language experiments with Artificial Intelligence, where he revisits and expands these same thematic universes in dialogue with new technologies. He was a finalist for the Ibero-American Visual Arts Prize (CERLALC-UNESCO) in 2023 for his AI-based production. Since 2021, he has been recording and marketing his works on different blockchains — such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tezos — bringing together dozens of collectors across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
