Bio

Luz María Sánchez is a Mexican transdisciplinary artist. Since 1996, she has worked with sound, moving image, installation, computational media, archives, artificial intelligence and generative systems. Her practice examines how power, territory, memory, language and environmental transformation are sensed and shaped through technological systems.

Her work develops through long-term artistic-research projects. Vis.[un]necessary force engages enforced disappearance and community-based practices of recording, listening and archiving in Mexico. War Room examines state power, political discourse and media apparatuses. Feral Epistemologies brings environmental sensing, concept production and generative media together through · FERAL ·, comprising Sinaloa Desert, Sensing Fjord Apparatus and Trondheim Sky Apparatus. A sustained strand of her work engages Samuel Beckett’s electronic media, machinic voice and technologically mediated language.

Her work has been presented at Ars Electronica, ZKM | Center for Art and Media, MUAC, WRO Art Center, MOMENTUM and Galeria Miejska Arsenał. In 2024, Galeria Miejska Arsenał presented In the Absence of the State, a major retrospective spanning 2006-2024. Sánchez received Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mentions in 2020 and 2021. She holds a PhD in Art from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
