New York City

In her first solo exhibition with bitforms gallery, Mexican artist Amor Muñoz presents nine research-based works that merge technology, craftsmanship, nature, and language with a sensorial and critical approach. Through her artistic practice, Muñoz crafts a poetry that gradually reveals itself to the viewer by activating the senses through an alternative form of knowledge: one that is intuitive, corporeal, communal, and situated.

This exhibition showcases the result of nearly two decades of interdisciplinary exploration. Muñoz's work has addressed diverse themes including labor, technodiversity, coded poetics, the connections between form and sound, and posthumanist speculations through artificial intelligence and living matter. Her production articulates art as a social, participatory, and reflective instrument, committed to territories and communities. This positioning is no coincidence as Muñoz studied law before dedicating herself fully to art. The artist grew up in Ecatepec, a city contextualized by profound social inequalities and environmental issues. These experiences shape a critical and sensitive perspective, which imbues Muñoz’s work with an awareness of the body, the social and natural environment, and collective memory.

Epistemologies of Touch invites viewers to read the unwritten and to listen to that which lacks a human voice. Technology, far from being cold or distant, becomes a sensitive material here: soft, intimate, and close. Textiles sing, walls codify, water expresses itself, corn speaks in a sonorous body, and the handmade is dignified. At the heart of this artistic practice lies perhaps an essential question: what will the knowledge of the future be like? Perhaps it is not about knowing more, but about doing better, with respect for the land and its languages.
