Urban Echo is an ongoing series of interactive sound and video installations. The project has appeared in many forms ranging from intimate outdoor video sculptures to large interactive public façades. Urban Echo aims to collect and creatively represent the thoughts and imaginings of city-dwellers.

In each installation, participants send their thoughts and questions via SMS and voicemail. The responses are then projected and added to a dynamic spatialized audio composition.

This version was installed at Huset i Magstræde in Copenhagen, Denmark for the International Computer Music Festival in late August, 2007. It was completed in collaboration with composer J. Anthony Allen janthonyallen.com.

    Beautiful work.
    Really enjoyed the relation with the city landscape and the use of mobile technology for interaction with the people passing by.

    Wow, that's pretty cool... I just begin to work with words and walls, though nothing is interactive, but I'd like to try someday.... That's why I really do like this work, it's simple, yet awsome.
    Reminds me of the work of David Small.
