Pulse Machine is an electromechanical sculpture made by Alicia Eggert and Alexander Reben that will live for approximately 78 years.
This electromechanical sculpture was born in Nashville, Tennessee on 2 June 2012, at 6:18 PM. It has been programmed to have the average human lifespan of babies born in Tennessee on that same day: approximately 78 years.
The kick drum beats its heartbeat (at 60 beats per minute), and the mechanical counter displays the number of heartbeats remaining in its lifetime. An internal, battery-operated clock keeps track of the passing time when the sculpture is unplugged.
The sculpture will die once the counter reaches zero.
