Emergence is an interactive biofeedback art installation that invites the viewer to examine the relationship between biology and technology. When the viewer touches the installation, the electrical impulses generated by each beat of the viewer’s heart propagate throughout the viewer’s body and are detected and digitized by the installation. During this interaction, Emergence synchronizes its own electrical pulses with the viewer’s heart to create a syncopated light and sound-scape that reflects its intimate experience with the viewer and also includes the installation’s “memory” of previous viewers’ heart rhythms. Through a single eye, Emergence retains a visual memory of its encounter with the viewer. With each beat of the viewer’s heart, Emergence captures an image of the interaction and digitally pulses the memory through the surrounding infrastructure and uploads it to the internet where it can be seen on flickr or facebook. By drawing parallels between the human body and the infrastructure of the digital age, Emergence invites the viewer to think about what fundamentally differentiates the electrical impulses of the internet from those impulses constantly traveling throughout their own body.
