Maria Mitsi (MITΣI) is a Cypriot multidisciplinary artist and VJ based in Berlin, specializing in real-time visuals, digital scenography, and performance. Her work explores the intersection of digital technology, body integration, and nature, inviting audiences to engage as observers or participants in site-specific installations and stage designs. Simultaneously, she delves into visual imagery elements accompanied by electronic and experimental sound.

Drawing inspiration from nature's power and sublimity, Mitsi examines how such encounters shape self-perception. Her work reflects a philosophical inquiry into moments when individuals confront nature’s overwhelming forces, challenging their autonomy and control. With a background in painting, programming, computer software, controllers, and cinematography, she brings a multidisciplinary approach that unites diverse mediums. Her residency at GlogauAIR explores the intersection of nature and technology, inspired by her early admiration for Caspar David Friedrich, particularly his painting Woman Before the Setting Sun (c. 1818–1820), which reflects on humanity’s relationship with the sublime forces of nature.

Mitsi’s work, titled ONISM, delves into the awe and fear of nature within modern existence. It was showcased in the Awareness Art Exhibition in Cyprus (Nov. 2024). Through immersive digital imagery, ambient sounds, and interactivity, she invited audiences to engage in a sensory exploration of self and nature.
