Together, We’re More Meaningful is the pair to Hello Hello Hello (050), where different line drawings of “Hello” were shown together. Here, the action underlying those Hellos — tilting, writing, walking — is shown in context.
Previously, the actions and context that shaped the drawing were never made apparent. Now, the line drawing is latent in those same actions and context. Do actions, context, and message need each other to be meaningful? Tilting one’s phone could be a game, moving one’s arm around could be exercise, and the final video could just be documenting the walk to work. Can we discern the message from the action? How does time and the scale of the body impact that legibility?
Each video loops, emphasizing the different time scales of each action: 1 minute 28 seconds, 37 seconds, and 44 minutes 52 seconds.
