Then the sculptural casting received a core of fiberglass reinforced polyester resin. Which was needed to support the rubber. Struts were installed inside to support the pneumatic actuators. The pneumatics were installed and the the piece was removed from the mold. The entire process was conceptualized and supervised by Adam Rubinstein, and assisted by other artists such as Mark Molchan, and electronics designer Doug Pitts.

    After removal from the mold the piece of the heart were assembled and the micro-surface detailing applied in "silicone paint" which we custom mixed, this was a very involved and time consuming process, as the silicone took so long to catalyze it would run off off the sculpture before it turned to rubber. We solved this problem by timing the application of the catalyst to the silicone in shifts, so we would always have the proper consistency of silicone to paint with.

    Then the pneumatic actuators were programed to follow an audio track, Gilderfluke Company provided the electronic motion control electronics. The giant animatronic heart is on display at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville TN. The exhibit was reprogrammed to apeal to their visitor audience.

     The entire heart glistens with a sheen, like it was just removed from the body, and each coronary artery lights up independently. The most spectacular educational display on the heart produced to date.
