The show gives a fascinating overview of the projects-commercial, speculative and Utopian-that have occupied designers in Milan...
Each infarct, or area of dead muscle, can interfere with the flow of electrical impulses that serve as the heart's ignition system. Normally, a current is generated for each beat at the "sinus node" (situated where blood enters the upper right heart). The charge then passes through the walls of the two upper chambers (auricles), making them contract. Then the signal is channeled through the auriculoventricular node (where the heart's four chambers meet), and passes through the ventricles' walls...
