Wasted Spaces has commissioned Hellicar & Lewis to develop The Hello Wall. This installation uses Twitter to let the public interact with the huge wall projection on Wembley High Road.

Starting Monday 8th March, you can get involved by Tweeting commands to @thehellowall, or shapes (triangles, squares, circles), commands (more, less, shake) or just hello.

Hellicar & Lewis are a London-based duo – Pete Hellicar and Joel Gethin Lewis. They have embraced the open source revolution which creates art that is accessible and interactive.

The artists explain the artwork in more detail as follows:
“In visual terms, The Hello Wall will be a simple single colour background, with a foreground of simple shapes, in a physically realistic two dimensional simulation. Imagine a series of red circles on an orange background, bouncing off each other in zero gravity.
The installation is designed to empower people, to allow them to have a creative input into the architectural space that they find themselves in – often without any sense of control or ownership.”
