heartbeats

in leuven you can visit this artwork by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
i've walked past it a few times last week, only now
i read in the newspaper what it represented:

'Each time someone touches the interface a heart pattern is
recorded and this is sent to the first bulb in the grid,
pushing ahead all the existing recordings. At any given time
the installation shows the recordings from the most recent
participants.'
