TECHNOLOGY: Telemetric equipment, two speakers, transmittors, sensors and amplifier

The interactive sound installation is based on heartbeats and on an encounter between two people. In this work the silent becomes heard and the importance of interaction is emphasized. Three sensors are placed on the participators breast. The heartbeats of the participators are transmitted through separate speakers. After a few seconds the heartbeats of the participants synchronize for a while, until they found their own rhythm again. An intimate meeting between their hearts take place.

In cooperation with

Bertil Nordström, researcher at Arbetslivsinstitutet in Umeå
