A digital installation at Art Dubai will allow visitors to connect with one another through the universal language of the human heartbeat. Heart Space by Canadian-Korean artist Krista Kim will debut in the Julius Baer Lounge during the 17th edition of the art fair, which will take place from March 1 to 3, 2024 at Madinat Jumeirah, with previews on February 28 and 29.
Heart Space operates in real-time, capturing the heartbeat of participants and transforming it into mesmerising patterns and calming shapes displayed on a dynamic LED canvas. Regis Burger, head of Middle East & Africa at Julius Baer, expressed excitement about unveiling the immersive commission, emphasising its potential to create a social fabric by harnessing the power of art and technology. Artist Krista Kim expressed gratitude to Julius Baer for enabling the ambitious vision of 'Heart Space,' She said: "I hope each participant feels inspired in their singular beauty yet leaves appreciating a greater whole."
