Finnish artist Enni-Kukka Tuomala created for the London Design Biennale an inflatable installation to encourage visitors to step inside and reflect on their experiences together. Her Empathy Echo Chamber is a physically and emotionally reflective chamber that is a response to the growing global “empathy deficit”.
Unlike a real echo chamber which only reflects back what we already know and think, the “Empathy Echo Chamber” is a positive and communal echo chamber of exchange where participants are prompted to step outside themselves to really see and be seen by each other.
