Alejandra Pérez Núnez (elpueblodechina)

Alejandra Pérez Núnez was born in Punto Arenas, Chile, in 1972. She has developed her practice as a noise artist, hacktivist, media designer and university professor under her real name and also under the name, elpueblodechina. Pérez Núnez’s live work, installations, and radio pieces have been presented internationally. Over her career, she has performed research on cartography and the activation of social networks, sensors, radio, land art, and invisible landscapes; all of which merge with her interest in cultural criticism and people’s right to free and open knowledge. Her current activity also includes writing assisted by algorithms, which touch on her interest in Antarctica, and the geopolitical and imaginary boundary established by the polar continent.
