SENSORY ROUTE

Recorrido por las obras de la Colección Fundación Arte Abierto

Sensory Route is a journey so that people of any age, from children to adults, can approach contemporary art from everyday life and the body, through exercises of observation, interaction and attentive exploration. The intention is to learn about some of the formulas of contemporary art from the works of the Arte Abierto Foundation Collection that are located in the outdoor spaces of ARTZ Pedregal.

Using a sensory map as a guide and the senses of our body, we will explore and reflect on the creation mechanisms of some of the artists that are part of our collection.

Join the tour every Saturday in December at 4:00 pm.

RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER

REMOTE PULSE, 2019

Installation with heart rate sensor board.

Remote Pulse is an interactive installation consisting of two pulse-sensing stations that are interconnected over the Internet. When a person places their hands on one station automatically the persono in the other station feels their pulse, as the plates vibrate in sync with the heartbeath of the remote person, and viceversa. Two lights indicate the hearthbeat of both persons as well.

This piece was originally presented as part of Lozano-Hemmer’s Border Tuner installation across the US-Mexico border, with one station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and the other in El Paso, Texas. For the exhibition Latidos, the stations were interconnected between Arte Abierto, in Mexico City and the Museo Amparo of Puebla. Now both stations are located in the architectural complex of Artz Pedregal.

RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER

(Mexico, 1967)

Interdisciplinary artist whose work has been focused in developing interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance. His main interest is to create platforms for public participation, usign technology as a language of our time, and as an inevitable yet questionable vehicle. He was the first artist to officially represent Mexico at the 52nd Venice Biennale. His work has been presented at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA),among other spaces.

LATIDOS

08.29.2020 – 01.24.2021

The fact that the heartbeat is widely used as a poetic representation of life and love is due in part to this facility for translation and the universal recognition of the rhythmic sound we first hear in the womb, our mother’s heart, which is then accompanied and superseded by our own.”

– Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Latidos was the third monographic exhibition on the biometric work of the Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, after those presented at the Beall Center in Los Angeles in 2010 and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington in 2018.

Incorporating four installations that use heart rate sensors to drive audiovisual and kinetic responses, the exhibition subverts identification and determination technologies to create connective experiences on an architectural scale. In Latidos, the audience’s vital signs were taken to be recorded as repetitive sequences that are displayed as flashing lights, panoramic soundscapes, ripples in tanks, haptic feedback, and animated fingerprints.

At the core of each work, a sensor detects the biometric signature of each participant. This “portrait” or “snapshot” of the intimate electrical activity of the visitor is then added to a live archive with other recordings, creating a landscape of syncopated audiovisuals representing a vast group of participants, delivering the individual’s data to a field of collective readings. The appearance of complex non-linear patterns of syncopation, synchronicity and resonance is evident in all projects, and is reminiscent of the minimalist music of Conlon Nancarrow, Glenn Branca or Steve Reich, for example, where repetitive patterns slightly out of phase with each other create a more complex auditory phenomenon.

The new remote hunches telepresence installation, commissioned by < Arte Abierto >, does not record heartbeats, but rather transmits them over the network between two identical interactive stations where one participant can feel the other’s heartbeat, and vice versa.

Originally this piece was presented as part of the Lozano-Hemmer Border Tuner installation, carried out on the border of the United States and Mexico, with one station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and the other in El Paso, Texas. For this exhibition, stations were initially interconnected between < Arte Abierto > and the Amparo Museum of Puebla.
