reEcho is a participatory computer interface that takes frequency and loudness attributes of the user’s voice to call up graphic and image contents on the screen.

Juxtaposition of visual contents based on Echo Nymph and Narcissus myth of Ovid

Its made-up visual contents, based on the Greek myth Echo Nymph and Narcissus (Ovid version found in Metamorphose III), are juxtaposed with transparency effect presenting a non-linear version of this well-known story. The mirror effect is used to not only imply the plot, but also reflect our relationship with machines; the medium we choose and ways we respond to or control it.

Example of captured screen

Projecting the display on a wall-sized screen with a microphone and mic stand, each user is offered the role of a story-teller exploring both the fragments of the myth itself and his/her own voice’s qualities. In front of other viewers, this act can be seen as a performance; it challenges the user to recreate distinctive displays for his/her own pleasure and at the same time performing in front of others.
