Interweaving historical research, poetic storytelling, and innovative
approaches to image and sound processing, a multi-year collaboration
between artist DARIO ROBLETO and media historian PATRICK FEASTER has
sought to discover unexpected sensory pathways to our shared past. By
challenging entrenched notions of what constitutes a playable
"recording" of the past, Feaster and Robleto's work allows for a type
of empathy through time by unlocking latent data and meaning in media
once presumed dead. Their work has discovered and made audible the
first pulse and heartbeat recordings and the first dreams and emotions
registered as blood flow to the brain, each originally traced in soot
from flames in the nineteenth century. Currently, they are working on
reanimating the first electrical signals recorded from the heart and
brain in various states of emotional experience.
