Hello Hello Hello (050)

Hello Hello Hello illustrates the difference in writing Hello based on a few of the previous instruction sets: walking city blocks, moving one’s hand through space, tilting a phone, and a software algorithm.

The different contexts, technologies, and relationships to the body are made evident in the juxtaposed drawings. The length of each video is relative to the others, comparing the instantaneousness (or stasis) of the algorithmic method against the slowness of walking. Additionally, within each quadrant, different executions of the same process are looped in.

Technicals

The implementations for each Hello are detailed in the following blog posts: 040, 041, 042.

Each Hello is composited on the web using p5.js. Although the handwritten Hello was captured as a video, frames are read individually to show only the pixels associated with the cyan line.

Next Steps

• Use recorded coordinate data to produce each Hello rather than a scattershot of different approaches.
