Pulse Earthbeat Project
Exploring Human Resonance @Burning Man 2026
Burning Man is one of the most unique and transformative events in the world and for us this is not just an award. It is an invitation to leave a mark on one of the most extraordinary human gatherings on Earth!
First thing first we are thrilled and deeply grateful that PULSE has been awarded a Burning Man 2026 Honorarium!
A Heart in the Desert of Black Rock City
The project features a large heart sunk in the desert sand of Black Rock City.
At its center, a deep crack resembles the root of a large tree, connected with this yesr theme AXIS MUNDI. Where does this heart come from? Did someone lose it? Or was it discovered? Is it injured? Or is it healing?
The fracture is one of the main project inspiration
Project Intention
The intention of this project is to transform a single heart into a shared organ, a place where everyone can synchronize their breath, heartbeat, and attention.
In the silence of the desert night, this heart-shaped sculpture becomes a metaphor for rebirth and unity, echoing the heartbeat of the Earth itself. It symbolizes vulnerability and truth: fragile yet resilient, always inviting introspection rather than escape.
Simbolism - The Fracture
The fracture is not just pain, but the opposite; it is the gateway to love.
The crack is not a failure, but a channel through which light, voice, and community can pass. Pulse represents a self-portrait of collective resilience: we all carry fractures that once seemed incurable; they have since become scars that we now embroider with light. If you carry a crack within you, come closer, for courage is contagious, and healing is a shared journey.
Simbolism - The Heartbeat
The sculpture translates visitors heartbeats into pulses of light and it turns it into a sensory experience, inviting to be touched.
A sensor connects your heartbeat with the light coming from the fracture and the light will start pulsing at the rithm of your heartbeat.
