One

A light that pulses with a heartbeat.

ONE was shown in January 2022 at the All Inclusive Festival of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU), featuring Domenic Keller. The installation was accompanied by a repeating OM recording at 432 Hz on a 5.1 sound system.

At six set times, meditations were offered on Persian carpets around the installation. During these sessions the audio was switched off, and the pulse of the light was linked to the artist's heartbeat via a pulse sensor.

Light body 130 cm in diameter (transparent paper, papier-mâché, epoxy resin, fibreglass), 700 addressable LEDs, Arduino and speakers — realised with a meditation teacher and an electrical engineer.
