  Ruben Olguin is a New Mexico-based artist working in ceramics, adobe, sound, video, and electronic media. His work draws from his mixed Indigenous American and Spanish (mestizo) heritage. He incorporates traditional hand processes of earthen materials with modern elements. "My practice focuses on spending as much time in the desert as in the computer lab." He has exhibited internationally in the U.S., Spain, and Germany. He is a graduate with an MFA from the University of New Mexico in Electronic Arts, and holds a BA in Media Art from the University of New Mexico.
  
  His goals are to make and teach new media art along with socially engaged art practices. Themes in his recent work explore how the landscape is divided by technology, land acquisition, and modern transportation paths. Exposing these lines in the work, he considers how these divisions occurred and their effects on identity politics and traces paths of discontinuity through the history, culture, and landscape of the Southwest.
