Maria Orciuoli was born in Avellino, Italy. She graduated in Economics and is an Interface Cultures master's student at the University of Arts Linz.
Incorporating leisure, social and political critique, her films, installations, and public events range from small-town games to screaming interfaces, from a candy-activated seat sensor to the price index of a raindrop.
