Echo is an interactive installation driven by breath. A visitor breathes into a custom wind sensor. Each breath connects to a place on Earth, and the live weather there, pulled every five minutes, becomes the prompt for an AI image model, so the picture on the large LED screen keeps changing, different for every breath.
It was made for Notch’s Open House at SXSW London and shown for one evening, 3 June 2025, in the Orbit Room at Ideaworks London.
