PULSE is an exhibition about the muscle that never clocks off. Below: a heartbeat synthesized live — P wave, QRS complex, T wave — that you may re-pace. The page itself keeps time with it.
Each trace below is drawn by the same synthesizer as the monitor above, with one parameter of the beat deliberately broken.
The metronome as intended. Note the polite little P wave asking permission before every beat.
The P waves dissolve into static and the beats land wherever they like. Common, sneaky, treatable.
Wide, fast, relentless — the ventricles running without their conductor. The trace nobody wants to recognise.
Long silences between textbook beats. In a marathoner, a trophy; in anyone dizzy, a pacemaker conversation.
