Aphidoidea Llc

Aphidoidea [Ahh-fi-doe-idea] is a multi-disciplinary design, architecture, and art collective, led by Andrew Hernandez, Jackie Muñoz, Jesus Eduardo Magaña and Paulina Bouyer-Magaña. The collective creates site-specific art installations that engage the user, and enhance the built environment in otherwise generic or marginalized spaces through the exploration of site, concept, materials, and interactivity. Inspired by interaction and perception, their work has evolved from site-specific installations, to include user response and spectator interaction. Their installations employ a variety of materials—from the ephemeral to the permanent—from technology based to analogue applications. They blur the line between architecture, art, design and technology to create site-specific interactive artwork. Based in Los Angeles, California the collective has exhibited their work in Boca Raton Museum of Art, City of Long Beach Arts Council, Phantom Galleries, Inner City Arts, YMCA, and Black Rock City. This past year, the collective worked on public and private commissions for Coachella Music and Art Festival, the city of Santa Monica, Scottsdale Public Art, and the Red Rocks College Metro Station public art for Denver’s Regional Transpostation District.
