“Echoactivism I” is a documentation of a sound performance by Echo Activism Collective presented through video and stereo sound, reflecting on the ecological crisis surrounding the Caspian Sea. Two performers positioned on opposite shores (Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan) shout towards each other across the sea, channeling their voices through iPhones connected to Bluetooth speakers as modern shamanic instruments. In today’s golden age of instant communication—when humans can effortlessly reach each other across continents—the performance explores the paradox that, despite these capabilities, genuine human connection is increasingly fragile. Here, nature is not indifferent but autonomous: it responds, amplifies, and carries these human voices, yet remains independent, existing beyond humanity’s presence or influence.
