HEARTBEAT ART
Forthcoming MIT Press, May 2025. Now available for pre-order.
An innovative history of heartbeats, pulse, and technoscience in the works of a wide international array of artists and composers
Heartbeat Art is the first study of how artists have engaged with heartbeats from the 1960s to the present, creating sophisticated and technological works that project in unique ways the circulatory processes of the body beyond its physical limits. 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.
The Sounds of Nature
Ideas Sónicas | Sonic Ideas, No. 32, 2024. Read here
This 20th anniversary issue of Sonic Ideas muses on the sounds of nature. As forms of energy, the sounds of nature have an impact on our body and our perception of our surroundings. Our dissociated relation with the environment has resulted in a global ecological crisis. Today, more than ever, it is essential to consider ourselves and our actions in the context of nature and all living beings.
For this issue, artists, composers, researchers, and thinkers from around the world were invited to write about the sounds of nature, including animal vocalizations; non-vocal sounds made by humans and non-human life; environmental sounds on Earth and beyond; as well as speculative and fictional sounds from
the natural kingdoms; etc.
Contributors
Jo Burzynska, Lena Ortega Atristran, Jorge Variego, Julia Bejarano López, Douglas Kahn, Juan Duarte Regino, David Garrido Rojas, Jonathan Corzo Garavito, Angélica Piedrahita, Pippin Barr, Matthew Bethancourt, Caterina Riva, Juan Fabuel, etc.
