Maria Paneta is a multidisciplinary designer based in London.

Graduated from Interactive Architecture Lab in 2016,
she is working on the verge of art and architecture
with an interest in cybernetics, interaction and cognition.

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.
Sarotis questions how soft prosthetic devices can modify the user’s awareness and
mitigate the distance between bodies, minds and space.

She practices architecture at FletcherPriest and teaches
how the urban space can be sensed using wearables and interactive devices.
