Pulse Topology
SuperblueTickets available at bit.ly/3XyHkt4 Also on view: Es Devlin, TeamLab, James Turrell Superblue Miami presents Pulse Topology, a stunning immersive artwork by renowned Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. As spectacular as it is meaningful, Pulse Topology is an immersive biometric artwork consisting of 3,000 suspended light bulbs, each of which glimmers to the heartbeat of different participants. As visitors traverse a series of crests and valleys of pulsing lights at Superblue, sensors detect and record new heartbeats, which replace the oldest ones, creating a memento mori in which the trace of individual heartbeats gains poetic strength as a powerful choir of human connection. Recognized for his participatory installations, Lozano-Hemmer’s works are activated by participants’ real-time biometric data such as their heartbeats, breaths, voices or fingerprints – pushing the nature of public engagement to its very limits.
