During his Art Residency at the Old Carpet factory in September 2021, Brody used the space to produce a series of recordings for the upcoming performance by MUXX Project, the recipient of the LACMA Art + Technology Lab grant. MUXX Collective consists of Lukas Avendaño, EYIBRA (Abraham Brody), NNUX (Ana Lopez), and Oswaldo Erreve, who work with performance, virtual reality, and 3D video to express the multiple spiritual bodies based on the muxe identity of the Zapotec people of Mexico.
