Project by Levan Kiladze
Once upon a command, three little pigs opened up their desktops. On a bright evening when screens start to light up the studio, each pig decided to start drawing a house for the final review.
The project reimagines “The Three Little Pigs” through the lens of post-postdigital drawing. Learning from extensive online hatch libraries, it redraws the three houses from the story, reinstating the hatch as a spatial device. Tracing the shift from hatch as a shading technique to architectural notation, the project foregrounds digital labor embedded in hatching.
The project asks questions of legibility: how many surfaces must be filled, how many types of hatches are enough, and which geometries signify which materials? Through repeated Rhino commands—hatch, explode, trim—the work investigates the tension between border and hatch. Retaining traces of the software user interface, the hatch tests ground the narrative in the reality of the desktop, where hatching itself becomes a media artifact.
