A thermoform red plastic love heart sits and beats with sound and light in a chair in a room which is controlled by ultra sonic radar. The heart beats faster or slower according to the proximity of the viewer. From another armchair a viewer by sitting activates a telephone - the Heartline. The room is surveilled by a video camera with a monitor outside the room.
