'Searching for a Pulse' is an anthropomorphic machine engineered to imitate a living organism or a pulsating organ. Using soft robotics, the kinetic structure creates an inflatable sculpture that visualizes breathing — mimicking dynamic pulsations and speculating a future run by 'breathing machines'. The fabricated skeleton sets up a 3D-printed rib cage of firmly conjoined polygonal frames through which inflatable soft material expands and contracts.
