About the artist
Amor Muñoz is a self-taught, interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Mexico City. For fifteen years, she has worked with crafts and experimental electronics, specifically with electronic textiles, replacing hard circuits with soft ones, transforming the rigid language of engineering into one that is soft, tactile, and flexible. This connection between technology and craftsmanship has led her to develop various lines of work and research. The first addresses labor and technodiversity, generating a series of social and participatory projects. Another line of work is Poetic Codification, in which she seeks to connect nodes such as text, textiles, code, and language, incorporating zeros and ones, the language of computers, into the field of poetics. The third line of research seeks to connect biology, technology, and craftsmanship to create a series of posthumanist speculations through living matter and artificial intelligence.
Amor has been an artist-in-residence at La Becque (Switzerland), Bauhaus Dessau (Germany), and Google Arts & Culture (France). Her work has been exhibited at numerous museums, galleries, and festivals, including: Barbican Centre (UK); 21 Haus–Belvedere (Austria); SFMOMA (USA); MUAC Museum (Mexico); Ars Electronica (Austria); CHAT (Hong Kong); Cuenca Biennial (Ecuador); National Art Center Tokyo (Japan); G Museum (Nanking, China); Lentos Museum (Austria); Havana Biennial (Cuba); Museum of Contemporary Art (Belgrade, Serbia), among others. Her work is featured in collections such as Kadist, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, the Carrillo Gill Museum, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, CIFO, and Bauhaus Dessau.
