Interview with your future self
Writing — read the piece
- Meant to show
- A designer facing her older self. Most people will be disabled at some point, and the exercise starts from there.
- Asked for
- A young woman and her elderly self facing each other across a table scattered with sticky notes
- Drawn with (split)
#3d59a9#a15e3b#99a448
Why these three
The opposition backed off by 30 degrees either side, which keeps the contrast without the vibration.
- SeedSHA-256 of
interview-with-your-future-self, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 219°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks split, which adds 0°, 150°, 210°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +5.2°, +11.1°, −2.2° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.

Saturation never drops below 72% and value never below 78%, which is what keeps a hue reading as the color it was chosen to be rather than as a dark. More on how these are made.
