Description: In artworks that mix printingmaking and painting, Eduardo Fausti explores themes from the natural world. Fausti is as interested in natural history as in cultural history. And, in visual terms, he muses about what happens when the two collide.
"Pulse" contains a print of binary language or code for modern technology with a superimposed red lineal pulse similar to the readings of a Richter scale measuring the seismic activity of an earthquake, or as a representation of a condition of crisis.

The hands show the internal structure of bones--like an x-ray negative--as they are visible to the eyes of technology. This represents a group of people in a pre-technological society in the process of being scrutinized by modern technology. This is a comment on our paradoxical age when knowledge, like that of radiation, is both an aid as well as a cause of harm and death.
