Anyone Who Has A Heart
An interactive iconic light sculpture at the RMCH

'Anyone Who Has A Heart' by Andrew Small & Steven Almond from Adam Bradley on Vimeo.

This magnificent interactive light sculpture is called 'Anyone Who Has a Heart'. It was created by Andrew Small and Steve Almond in collaboration with Lime who were commissioned by the new Royal Manchester Childrens' Hospital (RMCH). The sculpture is located at the main entrance to the RMCH. All funding for this project was sourced through charitable funds.

Conceived of as the 'heart and lungs' of the hospital 'Anyone who Has a Heart' is a light sculpture that monitors and displays your heart rate with a red pulsating light when you interact with it using the steel hand held grips. Walking around the sculpture triggers sensors that change the light colour display and sequence patterns. The piece can also tell the time and for five minutes of every hour it turns into a clock. Textblue technology also sends an information text to mobile phones of passers by within a 30m radius alerting them to its presence and inviting them to come over and interact with it.

The official handover and switch on of 'Anyone Who Has A Heart' will take place at 5.30pm on Monday 17th October.
