Andrea Muniáin
Andrea Muniáin (Tudela, 1994) is a multidisciplinary architect and artist whose practice focuses on the relationships between digitality and corporality. Currently, Andrea’s work explores the political component of the digital representation of bodies. Both as an artist and in her more academic work, Andrea criticises the current aesthetic regime, analysing how digital visualisation practices tend towards the standardisation of a universal body. This critique aims to highlight the need to find a new universal body representation, not anchored in the constitutive visual practices of the current hegemonic regime. Her work has been shown in different cultural institutions, architecture studios and universities, including La Casa Encendida, Matadero, Takk architecture, UTS Sydney, ELISAVA. Currently, she focuses on the development of what she calls “bodyscapes”, material approaches where physicality and virtuality are intertwined. Furthermore, she combines her work as an artist with her academic career as a researcher at the Alicante School of Architecture.
