DARIO ROBLETO SOUNDS IN OUTER AND INNER SPACE: AN UNKNOWN HISTORY OF THE HUMAN HEARTBEAT

ABOUT THE LECTURE

Artist Dario Robleto presented a performative lecture expanding on the artist’s extensive research into the heartbeat. Part storytelling, part original research, and part rare sound archive, this lecture wove together topics as diverse as the earliest attempts to record the heartbeat as sound and image, the heartbeat and brainwave recordings currently on a probe heading for the edge of the Solar System, pre-Edison sound recordings, and recent developments in the history of the artificial heart. The result was a creative intertwining of multiple histories of human exploration, in both outer and inner space.
This event included a short post-lecture reception with the artist.
