Using advanced Siemens Panoramic Ultrasound equipment to map internal tissues and organs, this large-scale multimedia artwork traced an abstract journey through the artist's body, which invoked the technical traditions of the 'body atlas'.

Echo was broadcast simultaneously via satellite technology at two locations. Both institutions, in their different ways, have chartered the development of medical imagery from early 1700s to the present day.
