We specially commissioned Pulse Spiral for the opening of the Garage.
The installation was a three-dimensional spiral paraboloid made up of 400 light
bulbs arranged according to Pierre De Fermat’s 17th-century equation to explain
the most efficient spatial distribution of objects on a surface. In
nature, the leaves and stems of plants grow in the same structure
(phyllotaxis). The work was interactive; participants held a sensor
beneath the spiral, which recorded and responded to their individual heart
rates.
