Seismic Echo is part of the Echo Series, connecting you to real-time events occurring around the world. Seismic Echo visualizes every recorded seismic activity within moments of them happening.

As one walks up to the piece, their image is reflected back. The contrast of their image changes based on the rate of seismic activity over the past hour.

Note:  If noise is of concern, the animation for each seismic activity can be limited, and the piece can be set to "sleep" at night.
