“Pulse Room was one of the first art pieces in Montreal that really inspired me and made the city feel a little more like home. It is an interactive installation where the participant's heart rate is used to control a landscape of flashing bulbs above the viewers' heads. I first saw this piece when I began Cegep and at a time when my world was opening to many new things. I think this artwork echoed that experience of being encompassed by something beautiful and simultaneously overwhelming. It visualized how we impact the environment around us and how it influences us in return.”
