The human heartbeat pulsates as an echo of our innermost feelings and longings. In “EchoCore”, this essence comes to life through illuminated and malleable soft spheres, awaiting the touch of the viewer. Through touch, the heartbeat is imprinted, setting the spheres in motion. Within this dynamic, an inimitable engagement emerges between the individual and the spheres–a choreography of pulsating colors and continuous transformation that explores the relationship between emotion and aesthetics.
As a trained scientist, Rene Preuer (AT) is interested in exploring new territory in the field of art, with a vision of closely connecting science and art in the future. With a background in soft matter (e.g., flexible sensors), he is particularly interested in how new technologies and materials from this research area can be utilized for interactive artworks as part of his artistic research.
