Stefanie Suk – Looking Outwards – 11

Amor Munoz, born in Mexico City, studied Law at the UNAM and at the New Orleans Academy of Fine arts. Notes and folds by Amor Munoz in 2019 is an interactive installation that is built to create  a connection between sound and form, using programming and handcraft. There are three cylindrical sculptures that emits sound, which made out of pleated textiles with three different textures. These textures of each cylinder are unique depending on the musical patterns of each sound. This sculptures are activated when people approach their hands to the fabric, creating the cylinder to rotate at different speeds and sounds as they are programmed. I admire this installation by its complex programming and interesting interpretation of sound. Currently a member of the National System of Art Creators, Amor Munoz usually combines performance and experimental electronics with traditional media, which really shows in this work. There is performance (public approaching sculpture to activate) and experimental electronics with traditional media (using textile and sculpture with sound to rotate). I am amazed at how Amor Munoz interpreted and combined sound with technology into an interaction installation, only making it activate when the public reach out.
