eko displaces the photographic operation from the optical to the acoustic spectrum. Over the past decade, I have systematically recorded every phone conversation: ten thousand calls with family, friends, and close collaborators that constitute the real network of my life.

Each portrait maps the audio envelopes of every conversation with a single person onto a gravitational field shaped by my own face, a statistical average generated by the machine after years of visual self-surveillance in sentinel. Vocal frequency determines color, amplitude determines stroke size, and the face's gravitational pull determines position. The empty spaces are silences.

The portraits are not images of the callers. They are the material trace of what each voice leaves upon impacting, over a decade, against the same receptive surface: me. eko is, in the strictest sense, an algorithmic photograph of the ear.

Series title: con.

All algorithms are written by hand, without generative artificial intelligence.

The archive listens to itself, caught in its own echo.
