'ekko' by thilo frank
2012, permanent public installation 20m x 3m

'ekko', the permanent public installation developed by thilo frank consists of 200 wooden frames revolving once around an axes
through a circular concrete path. the inner form is enclosed by a fencelike structure consisting of another 200 wooden poles.
depending on the positioning of daylight, the shadows cast alternating patterns - from further distance the sculpture flickers in a
moiré effect. the visitor is challenged to perceive and explore the three-dimensional shape.

while moving through the installation - built-in microphones pick up the sound of the visitors and a computer sound system filters
and remixes the recorded pitch and sends it to built-in electrodynamic resonators. here, the project becomes an instrument and plays
a constantly changing soundtrack. the work acts as an archive of noise while the users' understanding of space and presence is amplified.
