Event Description:

Artist Dario Robleto's exhibition examines the 19th-century origins of
the pulse wave as a graphic expression of internal life. Robleto
explores the profundity and confusion of this early moment, when
ineffable emotional and sensory experiences first became visible as
data. His multimedia installation, based on extensive archival
research, reawakens the intimacy, beauty, and emotional complexity of
these first waveforms drawn from and by the heart. Casting them in
steel and brass, printing and retrieving them from new layers of soot,
and converting them into video and engineered sound, Robleto
encourages us to attend to them with resonant forms of empathy, to
reflect upon the lives of the 19th-century subjects who bequeathed
them to us — and ultimately to imagine more heartfelt ways of
inheriting and interpreting historical data.
