The digital grip is something deeply analog: Our capacity to grasp, to hold something between our fingers and to manipulate it.
It first developed in tree-dwelling mammals and many believe that by having allowed for tool making, fine tuned motor skills, development of stereoscopic-vision and more, it is one of the most important factors in the evolution of higher cognitive capacities – the capacities we are using today in doing science, making movies, or building elaborate virtual worlds.
Somewhere there – between this digital and „the other digital“ – I like to work.
Many of my past and ongoing projects and assignments are listed here.
Also, I collect science across the media in my field notes and blog about bees and biology at The Viable.
*The title for this site I owe to Sir David Attenborough, who, a while ago, had his own encounter with the digital grip.
