EchoLife




In this project, people engage in an emotional dialogue with objects through physical contact, prompting them to reconsider the relationship between humans and all things. Is it a relationship of control and being controlled, or is it an emotional reflection of one another? As technology advances, the boundaries between humans and objects blur—objects become more humanlike, while humans become more machine-like. Will the world grow colder, or will it resonate with a warm echo of life?
ResearchI always think ...This is a survey I initiated on campus called “In life, what thing do you think you can empathize with, or what things do you feel might have emotions of their own?” Everyone is welcome to freely write down their thoughts on the whiteboard.

Is the relationship between humans and objects one of control and subordination, or is it leaning toward equality?
