A physical representation of a drawing I had done
in the past. Thoughts of the body as a vessel or shell of our
souls. In this electronic sculpture the statue detects a person
through a sonar sensor. As it is approached its "heartbeat"
gradually increases, shown visually through the two red LED's
in its chest and aurally through the beats coming from the speakers.
At about a foot's distance (has a range of approx. 8') a threshold
is reached, heart pounding and then its mechanical eye lifts
open and blinks. In moving away the heartbeat slows.
