Meet the Artist: Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - Hirshhorn Museum
Description:
The Hirshhorn’s largest interactive technology exhibition to date features three major installations from Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Pulse series. The show will be the DC debut for the Mexican-Canadian artist, who is known for blurring the lines between art, technology, and design. Lozano-Hemmer will fill the Museum’s entire Second Level with immersive environments that use heart-rate sensors to create kinetic and audiovisual experiences from visitors’ own biometric data. At a time when biometry is used increasingly for identification and control, this data constitutes a new way of representing both anonymity and community. Lozano-Hemmer delivered this artist lecture on Oct. 30, 2018. "Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Pulse" On view November 1, 2018 through April 28, 2019.
