Visitors are invited to sit at a small table in the center of the gallery and place their hand on a heart pulse sensor. As the sensor calculates their heart rate in real time, the viewer watches a projection-mapped timelapse of clouds rolling by in the sky. The playback speed of the timelapse changes in relation to how fast or slow their heart pulse is. The work becomes a tool to slow down the body and integrate with the surrounding environment.
