Two small LCD monitors with headphones sit on IV stands inside a gridded space. The monitors show video imagery of an electrocardiogram. To reach the pulsing image of the heart, you must step over the steel cables that form the cartesian grid of the space. As you enter, your shadow becomes an image by casting a large shadow. When you put on the heaphones, you hear stories of people's awkward relationships to their own bodies and the to their lives on the Internet. This piece seeks to find traces of bodies in this space often linked to 'mind' over body.
