Marisa Müsing





















































Marisa Müsing is a transdisciplinary artist and cyber thinker exploring relationships between the body, digital identity and archaeological history, expressing ethereal feminist ideals through digital and sculptural media. Their PhD at the Royal College of Art reinvestigates Pompeiian frescoes through a queer cyberfeminist lens. They have exhibited work at the Royal Academy of Arts, the British Academy, Salone del Mobile, New York Design Week, SOFTER, Ethereal Maison, Restless Egg and Xpace Cultural Centre, and have been featured in Glitch Magazine, Digital Frontier, Hypebae, WGSN, Dezeen, Vogue and the New York Times. Marisa has lectured at institutions including the RCA Research Biennale Symposium, Parsons School of Design, Harvard GSD, Rhode Island School of Design and ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering.

Additionally, Marisa runs two collaborative studios.
müsing-sellés, a globally-recognised design and teaching studio engaged in the transformation of object and spatial design through architecture; and mamumifi, a multidisciplinary collective that explores building stories around identity through objects from mixed-asian female perspectives.
