Heartbeat Amplifier

Up to 3 participants at a time comfortably relax in armchairs and place their hands on a tin Electrocardiography (EKG) plate. The EKG plate amplifies the R-waves of their hearts via skin electrodes, extracts the heartbeat frequency in the range of human hearing and then further amplifies the heartbeat over bass heavy pro audio speakers into the deep playa. Multiple users can amplify the sound and a unique color of their heartbeat simultaneously, creating a musical and visual orchestra of the human heart for all to enjoy. Participants may also sit or lay down on the vibration platform to feel the heartbeat pulses of their fellow burners. For more information contact Hitch McDermid at HeartBeatAmplifier@gmail.com.
