Battito

2023
Stefano Contiero

Time and heartbeats unfold, a rhythmic cadence on a living canvas resonating with echoes from the past.

“Battito” utilizes a machine learning model trained on six years of heartbeat measurements to predict a heartbeat given at any time.

Each dot as a beat, each horizontal line marks a minute, and each layer an hour. Encouraging the contemplation of the human heartbeat as both a symbol of life’s impermanence and an enduring, rhythmic force that connects everything. It offers a dual experience of time: an inexorable march forward with a comforting cyclical rhythm. An ode to the unceasing passage of moments, each uniquely imperfect, weaving the intricate fabric of existence.
