Lecture by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

In his series Relational Architecture Mexican-born, Canada-based artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer provides tools for shaping urban spaces on a temporary basis. In Pulse Park he transforms the Westpark around the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum at dusk into a sea of light generated by the heartbeats of passers-by.

A freely accessible computer-controlled sensor in the park measures the electrical activity of the heart of any person who holds the sensor for a few seconds. This data is translated into light and sound impulses, which make the whole park pulsate as they redefine it as a space for urban encounters.

Pulse Park marks the beginning of a new programme of events mounted by Urban Arts Ruhr.
