Sensing the World by Echo

Sensing the World by Echo — Plot

A "Frankenstein's monster" of a movie, stitched together with parts robbed from the graveyard of B-movie horror and sci-fi films. A colorful, animated paper collage, the video is assembled from scraps of 1950s and '60s children's books, how-to manuals, science texts and encyclopedias. A "biography" using science fiction elements to explore the classic themes (otherness, paranoia, alternate reality) of the genre. The video is a life story constructed from pieces of other stories, much the way we base our ideas of self on pieces of information we receive from our environment.
