urGENTestimar

In collaboration with performance artist Ada Vilaro and physicist Josep Perello,
urGENTestimar is a 40 hour uninterrupted performance that acted as the opening event for Fira Tàrrega 2017, the largest street theater festival in Southern Europe. Working with more than 400 members of the local community of Tàrrega, Vilaro wearing pulse sensors transfers hers and others’ heart beats into the acoustic and visual heart of Tàrrega – the Plaza Major.
