Interview with Marta Minujín

In this video, artist Marta Minujín reflects on the creation of her interactive work Minu-Phone.
She explains how, inspired by her belief that “we should live in art, not look at art,” she imagined a sensory experiencein which technology becomes a means of direct participation.
Through the collective E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology), she collaborated with a robotics engineer to design an electronic phone booth that responds to users’ voices and gestures through light, color, and sound.
At the time, the work was praised for its boldness and for Minujín’s unique position as a female artist from Argentina. It is now on view at LUMA Arles until January 11, 2026.
