👯 We collectively activate the notational logic of the charts — reading, translating, performing. Echo provides tools accumulated from years of experimentation: a memo game, finger calligraphy, video assemblage, piezo elements, a long scroll of paper, brush markers, and microphones. Through these, we build shared procedures across phases — pattern-making, sounding, drawing, moving. The performance is the procedure. No final show. Day 3: the space opens — visit the living traces, exchange ideas, end with conversations.
