INTERSECTION FOR THE ARTS, SAN FRANCISCO CA | 2012

Emanating deep rhythmic bass tones of the artist’s heartbeat, moving around the speakers at different speeds during different times, Albaitis' work references the global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon known as Schumann resonances, the natural frequency of Earth that is similar in wavelength to the alpha rhythms of mammalian brainwaves. She posits a holistic understanding of our relationship to nature on the biological and physical level - Kevin Chen

SOUND: Artist heartbeat at 12Hz (barely heard, mostly felt)

Curated Kevin Chen (Intersection) and Patricia Watts, founder and West Coast Curator of ecoartspace, a non-profit organization committed to developing creative and innovative strategies to address our global environmental issues.
