Immersive Experience: “Echo Chamber” by Connor Brem, Emma Steuer, Chris Williamson (2014)
In a dark room, words, motions, and even thoughts are amplified.
Echo Chamber places its audience inside a room where the only sound is the sound that they make, cycled through a audio feedback loop; and the only light is light that follows this sound’s pitch and volume.
The piece places its audience unexpectedly in control of this room, and explores how they react. Do they explore its sounds and lights? Do they try to find order in the feedback? Or do they shrink back, afraid that the feedback will grow out of control?
