Shouting into the Void
'Hello' by Yael Kanarek derives strength from its simplicity.
Requiring minimal user input, Hello transforms the computer screen
into an object for contemplation rather than a tool for interaction.
Hello consists of one static image: a sci-fi cavernous, landscape in
shades of pink that periodically emits an echoing 'hello.' Is this a
commentary on the supposed detached isolation of cyberspace? Or is it
proof that mouse clicking, complicated code, and hoards of links are
not necessarily the only means to art-making online? The
open-ended-ness of Hello allows for this kind of rumination and more.
