Pulse is a subtle animation created using vibrational data from four of the red rock arches found in former protected National Monuments Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante in Utah. The vibrations were captured with seismic recording devices by Geologist Jeff Moore and his team. The vibrational data was then modified through speed and amplification and put into a sound composition by Wendy Wischer. The intention is to show how rock is dynamic and responsive. The chalk drawing was accompanied by erasers but no chalk, viewers could remove but not add once something was erased.
