Moon Echo: Play Lays Bare a Modern Rift

'Moon Echo' is an interactive sound art piece driven by your own voice—a game where talk stumbles.
Multiple voices clash, bending delay from a fleeting pause to a vast silence, shredding conversation into laughter.
Echoes alone return to your ears, and beneath the fun lies a stark truth—this is our society’s fracture.
Social media traps dialogue in text, letting anonymous venom widen our divide.
We’re losing the art of imagining emotion from vocal tone because a text-driven world has taken hold.
Traditional education teaches the use of words, but the handling of tone has never been taught.
This playful stutter strips it bare: how much we lean on hearing, how fragile talk truly is.
Unveiled at the Kameyama Art Triennale, internationally acclaimed at the Makassar Biennale, refined in 2023 Yogyakarta after the pandemic, 'Moon Echo' turns jest into a raw expose of our flaws.
As 'The Color Cleanser' cleanses memory’s chaos, this work seeks renewal for a muted divide.
Play opens the door to reflection, for you and your circle.
