Patrícia J. Reis is a Vienna-based media artist and researcher whose practice explores human and more-than-human entanglements with technology through feminist hacking, sensory interaction, and embodied interfaces. Her installations investigate touch, consent, and care, often inviting intimate, active participation. Seeking to subvert visuality as the dominant mode of experience, she employs physical computing and haptic art to expand corporeal perception. Her work is marked by the combination of contrasting media and materials, spanning ceramics, sculpture, photography, video, and interactive systems.

She studied Painting (ESAD, Portugal, 2004), Media Art (Lusófona University, Portugal, 2011), and she holds a Ph.D. in Art (University of Évora, Portugal, 2016). She was a post-doc researcher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (2020-2023), a guest post-doc researcher at the Weizenbau Institut at TU in Berlin (2022) and a lecturer at the Art University in Linz, (AT) (2015-2023). Currently she is a Post-doc Senior Researcher recipient of the Grant Elise Richter-Programm (Peek) as the leader of the artist-based research project Hacking the body as the black box at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna where she also lectures since 2015.
