In my performance ‘On the first data’ I play the intermediary between the digital and the physical world. I introduce my digital co-player (3D-software) to what it means to be human. In return my co-player gives me the tools to create small worlds, wherein we analyse humane and familiar situations together. As I recite the scenario, the software tries to better understand the physical world. And thus a collaboration arises between human and technology, which have become so intertwined over the years, although still in search for a shared human experience.
