Your heart, this so particular organ that often gets excited, makes you feel effects that you cannot see. What if it was different this time? What if, this time, we could see it beat? What if he could decide to beat faster? Or inversely to slow down our blood flow? Tout passe is a behavioral artwork where the tridimensional translucent reflection of visitors enables us to see hearts beating and blood flowing through their bodies. Tout passe is a mirror augmented with cine-MRI and MR angiography that adapts to visitors' cardiac pace, seize it and can play with it. Tout passe explores the influence of this avatar on our behavior by directly catching our physiology, where everything goes.
Only the blood flows.
