HEY HI

June 2017

​

Hey Hi is a small machine that sees and uses a smartphone exactly as you do. With the familiar confines of the smartphone touchscreen as a common interface, human and machine meet and develop on equal ground.
 
Artificial intelligence will be, and in many ways has already become, the next revolution in technology. Yet we don’t have an intuitive sense of how this technology influences our lives.
 
Human intelligence remains the ultimate reference for artificial intelligence, but Hey Hi rejects the psychological skeuomorphism that all major interactions with AI employ. This series of experiments both makes people feel more like machines and makes machines seem more like people. These objects present entirely honest interactions that human users can use, understand, and enjoy.
