Mariana Fernández Mora
Mariana Fernández Mora (1991, MX/NL) is a researcher, artist, and writer based in Amsterdam. Her work bridges artistic practice and theoretical inquiry, examining how algorithmic systems shape knowledge, perception, and extractive relation
She approaches artificial intelligence as planetary infrastructure sustained by material resources, attention, affect, labour, and inherited epistemologies, rather than as an immaterial system.
Through writing, sculpture, and installation, she investigates how these systems condition bodies and environments. In her work, she develops concepts such as Slow AI, Planetary Somatics, and the Lullament as frameworks for addressing extractive legacies and proposing situated, care-based encounters with technology.
Fernández Mora is a researcher at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), where she conducts her Professional Doctorate project, Entangled Machines: Decolonial Modes of Encounter with Artificial Intelligence.
