Mia Melvær (Stavanger, Norway) is a visual artist and researcher based in Brussels, whose work often reference moments of fishing or searching for small fragments, kinder technologies, casting nets or networks and giving weight to something that might easily drift. The work is made using highly manual scanning and printing methods, such as wood block printing, carved sculptures and paintings with various tracing techniques. Additionally, as a ‘content member’ of the Brussels based organisation Constant,  she facilitates open ended, collaborative, artistic research on the topics of what speculative, feminist and open source technologies could be. Her work occasionally also takes form as written texts, scenography or fortune teller dispensers.

Mia graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven, and her work has been presented in ESC Graz, Bozar, Hönnunarmiðstöð Reykjavik, Kunsthalle Bern, BNA-BBOT Brussels and other. In addition to Constant, she also makes collaborative work through collective projects such as Mothers & Daughters — a lesbian* and trans* bar*, BAD (Brussels Almanack Dykes) and Just for the Record.
