The Pulse Room by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is one of my favorite installations captured on camera. Each light bulb is synced to the pulse of an individual who comes through the room, with the last 100 heart beats still pulsating through little energy-filled balls of light.
The idea of our individual rhythms having an impact on the space we occupy has stuck with me. I sometimes imagine that the blinking lights of radio towers are powered by our own heart beats-- together theirs rhythms are oddly synchronous, yet ever off-kilter.
