Echo+Evolution

Echo Evolution is a 1999 responsive sound and light installation by the artist Liz Phillips. The project was first installed at The Kitchen in New York City in 1999 and later at The Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York as part of the exhibition The Magic of Light” In 2002. The installation is a multi-media environment, where the audience can wander and forge trails. The activity of the audience is sensed with ultrasonics and transforms the sound and light in the installation. Speed of movement, stillness, near and far acts and the distances between people are chartered to activate and characterize the sound and visual events. Sounds in this piece are made from processed samples of spinning objects: a brass ring, a prayer bowl, a rainstick, and the rim of a wine glass. These objects were chosen because of how they evolve and transform to describe space, time, and motion. In the installation three long horizontal tubes register where activity is by light presence and absence.
