Mexico City, August 26, 2020.- Fundación Arte Abierto reopens Espacio Arte Abierto, a space dedicated to hosting exhibitions by national and international contemporary artists, with the exhibition Rafael Lozano Hemmer. Latidos.

Latidos is the third monographic exhibition on the biometric work of the Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and is composed of four installations that use heart rate sensors to drive kinetic and audiovisual responses: Pulse Room, Pulse Tank, Pulse Index and Remote Pulse, the latter can be activated once the Amparo Museum in Puebla opens its facilities to the public.

Rafael Lozano Hemmer. Latidos opened on February 7th, closing prematurely due to the health contingency that our country is currently experiencing. Faced with this situation, the artist agreed to extend the exhibition time so that the public can visit it until December 13 of this year.

The art pieces in Latidos are designed for the public to physically interact with them. For this reason, hand cleaning at all times is essential to ensure the immersive experience of your visit.
