Description: Hybrida is an intervention by artist Amor Muñoz (MexicoCity 1978) at MUAC. With this piece, Muñoz connects the field of biology with that of technology and computing. It is a question of the viewer receiving auditory stimuli developed by electronic means that allude to biological processes. In this way, the installation contrasts the functioning of living systems with technological ones and questions the conceptual and scientific limits of life. The project is part of the fourth edition of El Aleph, Festival de Arte y Ciencia 2020, promoted by the Coordination of Difusión Cultural of the UNAM. "The artist works across textile, performance, sound and experimental electronic to explore the relationship between technology and society, showing a special interest in the interaction between material forms and social discourse. She is particularly interested in how technology affects fabrication systems and how manual labor and handcraft are changing in a contemporary global economy"-artist's webpage.
Notes: "Published on occasion of the exhibition "Amor Muñoz: Hybrida" organized by the El Aleph. Festival de Arte y Ciencia and MUAC, Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo. UNAM, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City."--Facing Title Page.
