Hand in a Cave (a collaboration with Zane Hettinga) follows the descent of a disembodied digital hand, crawling forward into the darkness, searching for
sensory data in a computer-generated cave. Meanwhile on stage, a creature with cameras for hands probes the black box of
the theatre, scanning for data to feed to its digital twin. This performance combines poetry, CCTV cameras and video game technology to explore multi-sensory experience & how it is
funnelled into the digital.
