Maria Orciuoli is an artist living and working between Berlin and Linz. Dubbing her practice ‘constructive pastiche,’ she navigates the fields of filmmaking, speculative design, and creative coding, often engaging with themes of perception, consumer culture, and technology’s influence on human subjectivity.
Maria graduated in Economics (2011) and International Management Studies (2013) while living in Rome, Lisbon, Paris, and Berlin. Since 2021, she has been a MA student at the Interface Cultures department of the University of Art & Design in Linz.
In a parallel universe, she runs KO-HUM, a communications agency promoting artists and cultural producers working in music and performing arts.
