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.
Hit Counter by Zach Gage uses face recognition to count (and display) the number of people that have looked at it.
“It is a throwback to the early days of the internet when hit counters were proudly displayed as signs of social status, re-contextualized into the gallery environment.”
"If you put this notion of designing relations at the center of artistic practice and experience than you move away from a focus on art objects and their attributes... Instead, the notion becomes operational that the qualities of an artistic work or experience are being performed by a network of agents."

An installation designed specifically for the Pearlfisher gallery, supported the launch of a line of products that starts to address alternative tools for drawing. Using the gallery space as a carte blanche the guests are asked to scribble away the life of the pens (each pen lasts en estimate 190 m).
