Echo 42
A cinema for the ear: an hour of invisible fiction triggered by walking. Stratégies du Design Grand Prix, Gold.
"Echo 42" is an immersive audio experience of a new kind, an original idea I co-produced and developed in my own time with the studios IO and Sculpteurs de Rêves, self-funded through public ticketing. Open in Montparnasse from November 2024 to May 2025, it won the Stratégies du Design Grand Prix (Gold). Conceived as a cinema for the ear, it immerses the spectator, with no screen, in an hour-long spatialized sound fiction: as you wander, each step and each touch triggers a narrative layer. I handled show control, lighting and interactivity: UWB tracking, sensors, connected lighting and DMX, visual effects and SFX, video, and a bespoke laser harp, all orchestrated by a custom system on Raspberry Pi. A hacking approach that makes the experience autonomous, operable by a single operator, on a very tight budget.

Technical details
As co-producer, I handled show control, lighting and interactivity: UWB tracking, numerous sensors, connected lighting and DMX control, driving of visual effects and SFX, video direction, and the creation of a bespoke laser harp. Everything is orchestrated by a custom system on Raspberry Pi. A hacking-driven approach that makes the experience autonomous and operable by a single operator, under very tight budget constraints.
