Rafael Lozano-Hemmer "Recorders" at the MCA

1. When you enter the exhibit, you empty your pockets onto a conveyor belt that records the contents.

2. A room full of tape measures records how long a person stands in front of it by growing the longer you stand watching it.

3. a room full of old radio microphones that you talk into, and it plays back responses from earlier visitors.

4. 2 projector screens that record smoke patterns made by the whites of your eyes and play other visitor's patterns across your own.

5. a room where you can record your thumbprint and have it projected onto a wall with other visitors, and your thumbprint with thump and glow in rhythm to your own recorded heartbeat, creating a wall of thumping glowing thumbprints, each to their own beat.

6. A room where you record a sound byte, and it automatically layers over previous visitors sound bytes and the wall lights dance to the music that is created.

7. A room where the lightbulbs are powered by human touch, and they flicker according to how much electricity you give off.
