Untitled Art, Houston
The works presented by bitforms gallery delve into the intricate entanglements between human perception, data systems, and ecological environments, revealing how ways of seeing and knowing are embedded within—and shaped by—larger systemic forces. Artists Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Amor Muñoz, and Marina Zurkow form a cohesive inquiry into how technological systems are shaped by human perception. They invite us to consider not only how we observe the world, but how the systems through which we observe also impact and inscribe themselves onto the world around us.

Artsy names Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Border Tuner among best public art of 2019“Border Tuner, a timely and ephemeral light and sound installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, created a unique and powerful platform for interconnectivity and public participation at the U.S.–Mexico border. By melding performance, robotic technology, and social discourse, Lozano-Hemmer’s large-scale installation shared a lesser-told story by visibly highlighting positive counter-narratives about El Paso and Ciudad Juárez’s interdependent culture. A challenging public project to achieve, Lozano-Hemmer’s piece was able to brilliantly and poetically render intimate bridges between strangers standing in two different cities and countries that share so much.”—Nicholas Baume, Director and Chief Curator, Public Art Fund
