Which type of experience would arise if we treat images as independent entities and generate sound from them? “Illuminated Echoes” explores this same concept by using multiple cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions to display images, combining them with solar panels and transforming image-derived light into sound. Sound and image thus remain synchronised, but sound textures are entirely different. Undulating waves become a fluctuating rustling sound; a speeding car emits a short, powerful hum; the sound of workers hustling at a construction site becomes an on-and-off beat. In the signal-conversion process, these ordinary images give rise to an indescribable soundscape always hidden within the images and remaining unnoticed until now.

若將畫面視為獨立的存在，並以此生成聲音，會帶來怎樣的體驗？作品以此為概念，運用多台映像管電視（CRT TV）呈現影像，並結合太陽能板，將影像的光轉換為聲音。在這裡，聲畫依然同步，但所呈現的質感卻截然不同。起伏不定的海浪，轉化為載浮載沉的沙沙聲；前方急速飛馳的車，駛出短促且有力的低吟；工人在工地上埋頭苦幹的身影，卻變成有一搭沒一搭的拍子。尋常影像在訊號轉換的過程中，衍變出無以言喻的聲景——它們原本就隱匿於影像之中，只是未曾被察覺。
