- New alliances
This project invites you to think about the time when technology will generate extreme levels of automation leaving us with more time for slower being. How will we connect to our surroundings? As standardized, sterile urban structures, meant to serve fast lifestyles, are spreading throughout today's cities, there is no space for humans to express their nature. How to intervene in this mutation of our public spaces and “unalienate” our cities?
#helloeveryone highlights the role of chaos within cities and explores its potential to shape new orders - jobs. The project initiates the change of public spaces by introducing Hello Everyone workers into the streets. Their unique uniforms and unusual behaviours “dress” the city and unfold new connections between human & nonhuman surroundings. The project becomes a medium for the emergence of new urban tribes and, while blurring the lines between reality and fiction, aims to bring the eternal human needs of togetherness and care into the city
#helloeveryone children's book.
Initially meant for our new generation - the smallest ones, this book invites everyone to observe our cities more inclusively and sparks our imagination to dream of what kind of Hello Everyone workers we could become.

City Inspectors Map.
The Hello Everyone City inspectors are continuously observing and analysing the most chaotic parts of our cities. Sometimes Their findings grow to experiments, city tours and publications but originally they are meant to be translated into new jobs which attempt to guide the changing citizens’ needs.
City inspectors are already spread through many cities starting within Europe and the community keeps expanding.

Backstage production.
The Hello Everyone workers with their new jobs become a medium to bring new qualities to public space. By inviting creatives from various disciplines to participate in the production phase, we bring professional designs, writings, craftsmanship to the public space as well as create a new community within the creatives themselves.
The collaboration between fashion and spatial designers became a starting point for a creatives circle.
Shaman.
Shaman is a Hello Everyone worker whose job is to walk in circles, leaving a chalk trace behind. Every day she picks a route she walks repetitively and hypnotizes the citizens with her movements. Shaman gives a meditative experience within the urban landscape which sometimes might be shaped as a workshop so the citizens feel more welcome to join.
#helloeveryone project timeline.
The project has been developing for more than a year and the urgency to “unalienate” our sterile city landscapes, to discover new types of labour within changing society, to open a medium for new communities to emerge, has already been transforming into the actions within the Hello Everyone scenario.
