Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - Recorders Exhibition Manchester


Got up bright and early this morning to take a trip into Manchester to see the latest exhibition of Lozeno-Hemmer. The Recorders exhibition uses modern day technology such as surveillance cameras and 'mis-uses' them by creating playful interactive pieces of work.

The pulse room was my favourite, something about all the lights flickering to many heartbeats in the darkened room. It was fascinating to watch and then become a part of.

The idea was to hold onto a metal handle bar which somehow translated your own pulse into a glow from the lightbulb overhead. As each individual took their turn, your own heart beat moved along to the next light bulb hanging from the ceiling and so on until the room was full of lights, all eventually being replaced and moved along in time with more visitors! A great inspiring experience.
