Echo Chamber Drawings
Researching the lineage of technology that shapes our worldview, I discovered a drawing by Samuel Moreland from 1671 depicting vocal sounds amplified by a speaking trumpet. The drawing was accompanied by text addressing fundamental issues around broadcasting our voices, involving weaponized language, reverberation, and surveillance. This discovery inspired me to create a series of drawings of circular patterns or visual sound waves made with black ink on mirrors, mimicking that echo chamber. Exhibited at the Kreeger Museum in Washington, DC
