Echo
Georgie Pinn
Can technology make us better humans?
Echo, your AI guide, is here to help you connect. She is a bridge to another person's memory, identity and intimate experience. A private connection inside someone else’s world. What will they share with you? Will it feel familiar or be a window into an entirely different perspective? Step inside the booth and listen to someone else’s story. Their portrayal glitches and morphs as they share their perspective and memories with you. Slowly see yourself fuse with them and connect in real-time. Echo wants to break down prejudice by inviting you to discover layers of yourself echoed in another.
What will connect and what will be lost in transmission?
Georgie Pinn is an artist, director and producer of public cultural events, interactive installations, film, fashion, animation, theatre and sound. Her creative practice is underpinned by her long-term research into how immersive technology and storytelling can be used as a creative force for triggering empathy and connecting strangers. Her iterative work, ECHO, explores these concepts on a diverse international scale and delves further into the ideas of vulnerability, resilience, and adversity as a tool for learning.
Her projects have been presented in a range of international sites/events such as The Barbican (London), Ars Electronica (Austria), Federation Square (Melbourne), Drive (Berlin), Robotronica, ISEA (South Africa), Pause Fest, and the MCG. Most recently she won the “Best Interactive Experience” award at Sheffield Doc Fest in the UK for her interactive documentary installation work called ECHO. She continuously pushes the envelope of audiovisual storytelling, creating interactive live generative animation and sound platforms that are driven by motion tracking technology. This exploration feeds into the design and facilitation of immersive technology based education programs for all ages. These workshops explore unique forms of creative expression and blur the line between artist and audience.
