The Hello Machine

1974

Overview

The Hello Machine is a short, wordless film-poem, in which the assembly of an electronic switching system is shown. It is a poetic musing on the connections between handwork and the act of communicating. The film chronicles the act of making and building the mainframe with human hands so carefully that it becomes a handcraft, like weaving or sewing.
