Mari Nagem is an interdisciplinary artist conceptually driven by the relationship between nature and technology, combining media to investigate data subjectivity, the artificiality of landscapes, and the climate crisis.

With an MFA from the Haute École d’Art et Design de Genéve (CH), Nagem currently lives between NY and Brazil.

In 2025, Mari was awarded the S+T+Arts Buen-TEK Residence Program (Rome, IT and Fortaleza, BR), commissioned a public piece for the COP30 by the Tomie Ohtake Institute for the Emílio Goeldi Zoobotanical Park and Museum (Belém, BR), and was featured in Art Dialogues Magazine (NY, US). In 2024, she was nominated for the CIFO-Ars Electronica (AT) and Pipa Prize (BR), received an honorable mention from SFER IK Museion (MX), a commission for Mostra 3M (BR), the Celia and Wally Gilbert Fellowship at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (NY, US), and was a fellow at the NYFA Immigrant Artist Program in New York. Previous activities include the Marcantonio Vilaça Prize (BR), the Ox-Bow Program Fellowship (US), and a solo show at Paço das Artes (São Paulo, BR). Nagem has participated in Latin American biennials, including Bienal Sur (AR) and the Digital Art Biennial (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, BR). Her work has been shown at SESC, Oi Futuro, MAC Niteroí, the Museum of Image and Sound (BR), the Sea Foundation (NL), and festivals such as FILE, Die Digitale Düsseldorf, and Athens Digital Arts Festival.
