Bryan McCormack's installation "Preservation Is Life" at Paris' Centre Pompidou

"Accompanying the visual showcase is the stunning audio of a human heartbeat to illustrate the concept of preservation as both safety and the act of staying alive. The pulsing changes along with the colors, starting as the cardiac rhythm of a fetus in the womb at the ground floor and progressing to a newborn baby's beating heart and so on, until the sixth and final floor, where riders hear the regular ticking of the 39-year-old artist's own heart. The French title "les sons de la vie" or "the sounds of life" refers to this aspect of the installation."

The power of art to convey the importance of a global message never ceases to amaze me.
