Pulse and Bloom
Pulse and Bloom is an interactive art installation consisting of giant fabricated lotuses. Each lotus is equipped with two pulse sensors. When pressed by one or two participants, the sensors translate their heartbeats into pulsing LED lights, which illuminate the stem and petals in a rhythmic pattern.
As the stem pulses with both heartbeats, we see how heart rates of different people in intimate spaces start to beat in sync. The effect becomes increasingly meditative as more people interact with the lotuses.
