Drawing on a long history of scientific and artistic experimentation, Claudia Arozqueta offers detailed case studies of heartbeat works by a wide range of international artists working at the interconnections of our bodies, art, and science and technology, including Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, Heinz Mack, Brian O’Doherty, Teresa Burga, and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnoscientific advances in monitoring heartbeats and pulses in the nineteenth century—such as René Laennec’s stethoscope, Étienne-Jules Marey’s sphygmograph and chronophotograph, and Willem Einthoven’s electrocardiograph—transformed the movements of the heart into audible and visual representations. Artists saw in the language of these scientific technologies a way of mingling the inner with the outer, the physical with the technological, and data with flesh. Using archival research, interviews, and correspondence, Arozqueta describes significant works in detail, discusses their contexts and development, and examines the larger classes and contours of this neglected area of artistic activity. Other artists in the volume include Éliane Radigue, Jean Dupuy, Linda Montano, Catherine Richards, Diana Domingues, Mona Hatoum, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Christian Boltanski.Series Foreword\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Measuring\u003cbr\u003eFeeling Pulses: Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek Medicine\u003cbr\u003eListening Heartbeats: René Laennec’s Stethoscope\u003cbr\u003eGraphing Heartbeats: Étienne-Jules Marey’s Machines\u003cbr\u003eElectrical Heartbeats: Willem Einthoven’s Electrocardiogram\u003cbr\u003e2 Space\u003cbr\u003eSpatial Data: Laika, Moon Landing\u003cbr\u003eGolden Record: Ann Druyan, Sci-Fi Films, Pulsing Stars\u003cbr\u003eBeat Music: Sun Ra, Milford Graves, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk\u003cbr\u003eMoon Bounces: Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Lucier.\u003cbr\u003eUniverse’s Vibrating Symphony: Éliane Radigue\u003cbr\u003e3 Electrical\u003cbr\u003eVibrating Lines: Heinz Mack\u003cbr\u003eThe Visual Energy of Heartbeats: Jean Dupuy\u003cbr\u003eSon Et Lumière: Mark Boyle, Joan Hills\u003cbr\u003eElectro-Trances: Diana Domingues\u003cbr\u003e4 Time\u003cbr\u003eTiming Pulses: Allan Kaprow\u003cbr\u003eHeartbeat Time: Julieta Aranda\u003cbr\u003eThe Vitality of Spaces: Sasaki\u003cbr\u003e5 Transplants\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Transplants: Brian O’Doherty\u003cbr\u003eCo-Mingle: Catherine Richards\u003cbr\u003e6 Surveillance\u003cbr\u003eBody Information: Teresa Burga\u003cbr\u003eIntrusions: Mona Hatoum\u003cbr\u003eBiometrics: Rafael Lozano-Hemmer\u003cbr\u003e7 Regeneration\u003cbr\u003eGetting Closer: Yoko Ono\u003cbr\u003eHeart Endurance: Linda Montano\u003cbr\u003e(Im)Permanence: Christina Boltanski\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eIndex“Accessible, engaging… This examination of how artists represent the pulse tunes us to the way our heartbeats throb through us, with each other, on a throbbing earth, in a throbbing cosmos.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Nina MacLaughlin, \u003ci\u003eNew England Literary News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Arozqueta’s articulation of biology, technology, and politics makes \u003ci\u003eHeartbeat Art \u003c\/i\u003eparticularly interesting...
