Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Takes Your Pulse
Artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer uses 3000 light bulbs + high-tech "pulse sensors" to capture, magnify, and save the heartbeats of visitors in this visually stunning and intimately connecting installation.
Artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (b. 1967, Mexico City) presents a dazzling interactive exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York that broadcasts and records every visitor’s heartbeat across 3,000 suspended light bulbs. Common Measures is on view at the gallery?s 510 W 25th Street location through October 22nd.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is the room-filling Pulse Topology (2021). Resembling an upside-down landscape made of twinkling stars, the work comprises 3,000 suspended light bulbs that each pulse with the individual heartbeat rhythms of the most recent visitors to the piece.

To see and hear the work in action with Rafael?s own words, watch these two 30-second videos produced by the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art on the occasion of his exhibition last year.
An adjacent room presents two smaller works that also merge technology and humanity. Call on Water (2016) is a stand out, offering a high-tech visual treat of science and poetry.
