Amor Muñoz

For a decade Muñoz has worked with crafts and experimental electronics, specifically with electronic textiles, changing hard circuits for soft circuits, transforming the rigid language of engineering into a soft, tactile and flexible language.

This connection between technology and craftsmanship has led her to develop several lines of work and research. The first deals with work and technodiversity, generating a series of social and participatory projects. Another line of work is Poetic Coding in which she seeks to connect nodes such as text, textile, code and language, bringing zeros and ones, the language of computers, to the realm of poetics. And the third line of research seeks to relate biology with technology and crafts to create a series of pieces that speculate about futures and posthumanist ideas.
