“Beat” is a story elaborated from your “Heart.” You can experience the work with your heart in your hands. First, you encounter a rusted robot, absolutely static. He doesn’t have a “heart” that allows him to move. You can grant him a new heart by putting yours in the robot. He then stands up and starts to move, expressing joy to live out all his strength. However, when he meets new robots, he doesn’t know how to communicate properly. It is a story in which you can realize the power of the heart and the importance of emotional connection with others.
