Maria Paneta (b. 1988, Athens) is an artist whose work intersects art and architecture, creating immersive, interactive installations, prosthetic wearables, and multimedia pieces that explore the interaction between machines and living organisms. Her practice delves into augmented life in non-human environments, examining the bodily interfaces of their inhabitants.

She holds an MArch in Interaction Design from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, and a Diploma in Architecture from the University of Patras. Paneta’s work has been exhibited internationally, with shows in Athens, London, Utrecht, and Texas, and she participated in the 150th anniversary of Harper's Bazaar at MoCA Shanghai in 2017. She has collaborated with leading cultural and academic institutions, including the Bartlett School of Architecture, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the Saudi Ministry of Culture, where she taught interaction design. Paneta is currently based in Athens.
