What if your pulse could paint the room? Heart Space (2024) by Krista Kim transforms each visitor’s heartbeat into living waves of colour, frequency and light. Developed in collaboration with ethical-AI firm Tenbeo, the immersive installation captures participants’ real-time ECG data into a shared sensory experience. Within a mirrored space that reflects both self and others, individual heartbeats merge into one digital canvas, reminding us that even in a world of digital overload we remain deeply connected.
Far from the idea that technology distances us, Heart Space is a meditation on unity. The installation invites each visitor to take part and witness their own heartbeat rendered into art. From calming yellows and serene greens to intense reds, the shifting colours respond to emotional states, creating a dynamic artwork that evolves with every new participant.
In a world shaped by continuous digital advancements, Krista Kim reminds us of what makes us human. Her work explores how technology, often seen as cold or alienating, can deepen empathy and bring us closer. By transforming biometric data into immersive visual experiences, emotion becomes visible and presence is felt.
For the artist, digital identity is not something detached or abstract, it is deeply personal. Her concept of the Heart Signature introduces a radical new standard of authenticity in the digital world. Powered by Tenbeo AI, each Heart Signature is generated as a unique cryptographic key derived from the rhythm of a person’s heartbeat, then visualized as a living artwork within Heart Space. At a time when avatars and algorithms often define who we are online, Kim’s work reveals the self as pure frequency—an incorruptible signal that cannot be copied, deepfaked, or replaced.
Krista Kim is a Canadian-Korean digital artist whose work blurs the line between art, design, and emerging technologies. She is the founder of the Techism movement, which calls for a future where innovation is used not just for progress, but serves human values and emotional depth. In her creative process, Kim blends generative software and extended reality, collaborating with AI engineers, neuroscientists and sound designers to build immersive experiences for reflection and transformation.
Heart Space aligns with Moco Museum’s mission to showcase artists who challenge convention and reimagine the future. With a unique approach that merges art and advanced technology, Krista Kim invites us to envision a world where digital innovation becomes a source of emotional depth and authentic human connection.
