Information on the activity

June 18, 2014 to September 7, 2014

From June 18 to September 7, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal will mark its 50th anniversary in a very special and unique way by presenting a work acquired by the museum in 2013: the interactive installation Pulse Room (2006) by artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. This spectacular piece, which was shown in 2007 at the Venice Biennale, features 300 suspended incandescent light bulbs controlled by a computer interface that detects visitors’ heart rate and converts it into flashes of light.
