Echo and Narrcissus

cho & Narcissus is an installation that explores this ancient myth as a metaphor for the interaction between two individuals who cannot communicate. An interactive visual projection on water and multi-channel soundtrack of Echo's voice is use as a counterpoint to the visual elements. As one looks into the water they see an image of their own face gradually materializing, dematerializing, disappearing, then reappearing once again.

Echo & Narcissus is directed/produced by artist/curator David Familian, who is artistic director of the Beall Center for Art + Technology at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, UC Irvine. His collaborating team includes media artist Eric Parren, programmer of the interactive elements, author Terry Wolverton, writer of the Echo's monologue and actor Marie Chambers, voice of Echo.
