The concept behind the Pulse installation was to explore the human condition through the use of blood-like fluid running through pipes. The installation aimed to serve as a reminder of the violence and suffering that humans inflict upon each other, while its mechanical nature represents the detachment of modern society from these realities. By using a pulse sensor to detect the pulse, the machine created a visceral experience that forced viewers to confront bodily realities that are often hidden from view, including the ways in which our physical selves are ignored or oppressed by society. To bring this concept to life, the design of the installation was inspired by cyberpunk style, utilizing tubes shaped like ribs to create a hollowed-out appearance resembling veins in the body. The clothing was designed to be minimalist and sleek, featuring transparent PVC tubes circling around the neck area and leading to a hidden transparent interlayer on the back. This design successfully conveyed the idea of violence and oppression in modern society, emphasizing the human body's vulnerability and fragility.
