About this Piece
Pulse is composed of five curved screens that repeatedly emerge and disappear along a wall of the Zachry Engineering Educational Complex at Texas A&M University.
The video content is an abstract array of multi-colored particles that run along the screens. Rather than being a looping video, an algorithm creates a generative animation that is reacting in real time to data related to the building’s energy consumption, including air conditioning flow, internet usage, water and electric power consumption. The artwork is a data-fed sculpture that is sensing the building’s own conditions as if it were a living, breathing entity.

“As an artist working with new media it is a real privilege for me to develop a project in a context where technology has such a great presence.”— Daniel Canogar
