Echo Chamber #2, by Wassili Widmer 
After the first episode of Echo Chamber reflected on the topics of voice and narrativ, this episode will thematise echo and reverb. Part of this will be a deeper reflection of the myth of Ekho and voice experiments.
The myth of Ekho is an essential part and basically the origin of the Echo Chamber series. In this episode it is dissected from different angles, including the thoughts of Echo Chamber episode 1 and a psychological study of the effects of repetition frequency on the effect of illusory truth. The story and sound phenomenon of Echo are interwoven with a critical reading of the darker sides of the story, which includes themes of dehumanisation, disembodiment, and narcissism. 
This episode of Echo Chamber is not the lightest, but is meant to encourage us to question dominant narratives. It is also an experiment in examining details of social structures through mythological stories and sound.
