About

Maria is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, writer, and Ph.D. researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle (US) whose practice spans performance studies, digital media, experimental arts, and spatial sound. Their work transforms embodied and environmental data—such as voice, electromagnetic signals, and spatial rhythms—into generative, signal-responsive installations across physical and virtual spaces.

With a background in visual fine arts, electronic media, video and documentary work at VICE Media Berlin, they now focus on critical data practices, sonic sensing systems, and experimental forms of embodied collective memory through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Their doctoral research examines how voice, ritual, and sensing technologies can operate as systems of care rather than tools of extraction, using kinetic sound installations, antennas, solenoids, latex, light, and electromagnetic fields to build relational systems between human and more-than-human bodies. The voice functions as both transmitter and sensor—an embodied technology carrying breath, grain, tension, and refusal beyond language. Technically, they develop interactive kinetic and sound environments using SuperCollider, Reaper, multichannel sound systems, Arduino, OSC, custom sensor networks, Processing, and Python for real-time data transformation and spatial installation work.
