-In this diary I document the search for the destination of my digital data. It consists of diary entries I wrote during the search, in combination with pictures that I took whilst visiting these places. Added to that are the data lists with emails, places and phone calls which were related to my visits. I followed my own digital data into the physical world. Following my data I took pictures and wrote texts about my discoveries. Questions arised about control and information transparency in today's life, to which I tried to find answers along the way.I wanted to know what happens with my digital data. I wanted to see if it’s possible to keep control of my data. In order to see if that’s possible I had to understand the digital world first. Not only the theoretical side but also the physical infrastructure.<br>

-I collect digital information, and print this in analogue files. This information is from the visitors of a specific festival/exhibition they are visiting. This project is exhibited at that festival/exhibition and is then interactive with its specific visitors. I gather digital information on the visitors ''before'' the specific festival/exhibition, without hacking, and print this in analogue files. ''During'' the specific festival/exhibition the visitors will be confronted with their digital information in his or her own file.  I am present at the festival/exhibition and hand over the file to the person whom it concerns. I want to create awareness amongst people that seemingly innocent activities on the internet can lead to the accidental creation of new digital identities. People disclose a lot of information online, to invisible, unknown parties. Letting them touch the analogue volume of their information makes it real and understandable.<br>

-Images of Rotterdam Central Station, still in construction. Humanity has long since been extinct. I took pictures of the Rotterdam Central Station, whilst it was in construction. I manipulated them in such a way to represent a time when humanity has not been around for at least a decade. I can’t remember a time when the Central Station in Rotterdam was not in construction. I was annoyed at the central station, wanted it to be over already. As a reaction to this idea I decided it would never be finished, it would stop now, and stay like this forever. <br>
