Rafael Lozano-Hemmer was born in Mexico City in 1967. His artwork depends on public participation to exist. This exhibition records participants' pulse, voice and image and it is these recordings that form the actual content of the works. The content is entirely 'crowd-sourced' and subsequently has a more ominious, predatory nature to the first playful feelings it excites. The works use biometric and surveillance technology employed by governments and corporations to profile, control and predict our behaviours in the name of efficiency or safety
