Installation, altered in real time, using heartbeat sensors/arduino/ touchdesigner

Rogue is an interactive installation, conceptually integrating Stefan Helmreich’s lecture on the quantification of ocean waves, and Rebecca Solnit’s auratic blue horizon line between sea and sky. I paired Solnit’s commentary on understanding the immateriality of the body (as it simultaneously occupies two spaces in its relation to sight) with Helmreich’s explanation of our data-driven, cultural desire, to define the ephemeral. In a time where technology has enabled individuals to become more and more measurable as a materiality, I find myself curious about the unseen and immeasurable energies that deeply connect us. The statistically unexpected - Rogue - immaterial knowing. The installation invites viewers to visually access their heartbeat by touching the nearby sensors.

Exhibitions Include: Lumen Crypt Gallery, London and Creators Lab, Factory, Berlin
