Performed in Montreal at Artivistic TURN*ON.

In technésexual, Micha Cárdenas and Elle Mehrmand commit playful erotic acts
in physical and virtual space simultaneously, using devices to amplify the
sound of their heartbeats for the two audiences. An electrocardiogram was
used to monitor the heart rate with an Arduino/Freeduino, playing a
recording of the heartbeat at the correct rate using Puredata. The sound is
used here to bridge the two spaces, finding ways of exploring the space
between realities. DIY biometrics are used to bridge realities with audio,
beyond the usual visual approaches to augmented reality or augmented
virtuality.
