Maria Paneta

Maria Paneta (b. 1988, Athens) is an artist who works on the verge of art and architecture. She creates interactive installations, prosthetic wearables, video, and photography, exploring the ways machines communicate with living things. Her study in the Bartlett resulted in the development of the wearable ‘Sarotis’, a prosthetic device that augments spatial awareness and creates tactile virtual spaces. She creates spaces dealing with augmented life in non-human environments and the bodily interfaces of their inhabitants.

She holds a MArch from Bartlett School of Architecture UCL on interaction design and a Diploma of Architecture from University of Patras. She has exhibited internationally in Athens, London, Utrecht, and Texas. She was part of the 150th anniversary of “Harper’s Bazaar” in MoCA Shanghai 2017. She has worked with leading cultural and research institutions including the Bartlett School of Architecture and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, where she taught interaction design. Maria Paneta is based in Athens.
