The thought behind the structure is a cam and peaceful heartbeat. Interna peace and peace at the universallevelaresymbiotic
The latter cannot be attained wthout peace from within
Ths interactive piece alows the user to have a more immersed experience wth the structure and understandthephilosophybehinduniversalpeaceas a collective effort The idea is that the heart could only beat if every user shares his effort in creating andsustaining t.
The water is channeed into a tray leadng to the ppette system to produce the sound of a heartbeat using two droplets of water falling at varying speeds using a caibrator. The frequency of the droplets is derived usingtheformula: f=nv/2(I+0.6d)
The reverberation has been designed to produce a soft sound to refect the fragility of the state of the ideaemphasizingtheneedtopreserveitprecisey
This quant resonance achieved using this equation sounds very similar to a human heartbeat as we matched the pace to a natura heartbeat
This sound is then amplified using a conical Callister which can be heard as a soft lub-dub equivocally around the dome as one moves their earsclosertoitssurface
