Pulse Room
“Pulse Room” is an installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The brightness and frequency of illumination in the space is determined by the heartbeat of the user. Each visitor’s heartbeat is stored and the installation grows and pulsates to the collective heartbeats of its past users.BLDGblog interestingly proposes that this idea has potential to be extended to nightclubs and cinemas…
There’s also a video of the piece when it was installed in Madison Square Park, New York.
