Ecco the Dolphin

Me either.

But I bet if I did, the experience would be something like “ECCOS,” an artistic, psychedelic, video of slowed-down Ecco the Dolphin gameplay by artist Andrew Norman Wilson, who describes it as a “six-hour meditation video.”

It is every bit as bizarre as it sounds. Here’s a sampling:

Ecco the Dolphin (and its sequel Ecco: The Tides of Time) was a game that was already trippy as hell–it’s about a time- and space-traveling dolphin, fer chrissakes. With aliens!

Wilson’s ECCOS is one of the projects of his Center for Wave Change, a proposed exhibit described as an “experimental philosophical space that focuses on the phenomena of waves.”

Yeah, uh, I don’t really know what any of that means, so I’m just going to roll a joint and go chill with The Big Blue.
