Mary Maggic

Mary Maggic (b. Los Angeles, 1991) is a nonbinary artist working at the intersection of hormones, body and gender politics, and ecological alienations. Maggic frequently uses ‘biohacking’ as a xeno-feminist practice of care that holds the potential to demystify invisible systems of molecular biopower. Completing their master’s degree in the Design Fiction group at MIT Media Lab, they received the Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention in Hybrid Arts (2017) for the project ‘Open Source Estrogen’ and a 10-month Fulbright research award in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2019). Maggic is a current member of the global network Hackteria/ Open Source Biological Art, the tactical theater collective ‘Aliens in Green’, the Asian feminist group ‘Mai Ling Vienna’, as well as a contributor to the radical syllabus project ‘Pirate Care’ and to the online ‘Cyberfeminism Index’.
