You pick people, and they pick you sometimes. It's especially great to connect with people you think you have nothing in common with.

"Hello" is always presented as a linear narrative, a singular chain, sometimes in a loop. But the reality of making it is that connections are naturally sprawling all over the place, so I am free to edit any way I want.

I think the optimal artwork is in constant circulation with the world around itself.

I find myself doing fieldwork physically, in the tradition of anthropology. I literally go to the opposite end of the world, to the most exotic faraway places I possibly can, only to find the closest things to me when I get there.

I've gotten all kinds of reactions and it's been used in so many different ways.

Of course, I'd welcome protest. Good criticism is hard to find.

I wouldn't say the anthropologists were making art, but they were definitely justifying their practices with very personal reasoning, passion, and they were also experimenting with form. There was a sense of trying to be as sincere as possible, whether you were investigating something far away from you or very close.
