An immersive installation at Moco Museum Barcelona invites visitors to experience their own pulse as a collective canvas of light and color.
At the Moco Museum Barcelona, Canadian-Korean artist Krista Kim unveils Heart Space, an installation where art and artificial intelligence converge to transform human heartbeats into waves of light. Created with ethical AI company Tenbeo, the work captures ECG signals in real time and translates them into evolving colors that reflect emotional states. Inside a mirrored environment, each visitor’s rhythm merges into a shared digital landscape, turning presence into a living canvas.
Founder of the Techism movement, Kim imagines a future in which technology aligns with human values and awareness. Heart Space proposes intimacy instead of isolation, inviting visitors to rethink machines as bridges for empathy. Each participant receives a unique Heart Signature, a one-of-a-kind digital artwork generated from their individual heartbeat algorithm, so the experience feels both collective and personal.
The installation amplifies the museum’s mission to spotlight artists who challenge conventions and reframe the dialogue between creativity and innovation. By foregrounding the human pulse as data and light, Heart Space refracts identity through color, reflection and community, encouraging a slower, contemplative encounter with technology. In Barcelona, it becomes a meditation on connection in an age ruled by screens, suggesting that the most powerful interface is the body itself.
