I <3 My Computer

Arduino, heartbeat sensor, wood, silicone, other electronics

My computer is my closest companion; it may know me better than anyone. It knows me by heart. This soft silicone screen asks for no typing or tapping, only your pulse. Put your finger on the sensor and each heartbeat lights one pixel, slowly drawing a heart within a heart. The piece makes visible the quiet trust we place in our devices: we hand them our softest, most involuntary selves, and they redisplay us, tenderly and in public.
