曼內•維拉里巴（原名Emmanuel L. VILLARIBA）1964年生於菲律賓布拉甘省，1990年畢業於聖道頓馬士大學（University of Santo Tomas）繪畫系並取得美術學士學位。他用藝術探索聲音與視覺相關的領域，特別是那些從科技和肉身之間的互動所產生的想像。自從2005年起，他開始積極參與不同形式的聲音與視覺表演，包括與人合作、個人表演、新媒體表演、演奏和裝置等，促使他的創作發揮超越限制的潛力，駕馭了即時聲音視覺化的視覺與聽覺組態。維拉里巴也是菲律賓「Tupada Action and Media Art」藝術組織的核心召集人。他積極參與各種國內行為藝術活動及許多國外藝術節，例如：2006年馬尼拉的「
Tupada Xing」和新加坡的「
Wunderspaze」、2007年日本「國際行為藝術節」、2009年一月緬甸仰光「東南亞當代藝術交流」、2009年四月南韓Changwon藝術節、2009五月南韓光州「國際行為藝術節」、2009年七月菲律賓的馬尼拉「亞歐新媒體藝術節」和2011年Reverb at Lopez Museum等。
