Dario Robleto’s The First Time, The Heart responds to the 19th-century invention for visually recording the human heartbeat, Karl von Vierordt’s sphygmograph, a technology that made its first marks in soot using a human hair as a stylus. Robleto’s diptych recalls that method and the data it produced to suggest the life cycle, from the first pulse to the final flat line. Given that the two hearts belonged to two different subjects, this is also the life cycle of the technology itself—to show the traces of hearts that beat over a century ago brings them back to life in a pale way, but the real necromancy may be technological, in Robleto’s revival of elements of such ephemeral, sooty processes. accompanied by a degree of dread. To Burke, vast landscapes, scenes of great dimension, and even the presence of dangerous creatures activated feelings of fear and wonder that defined the sublime.
