Can we approach non-human beings through digital space, engage in a dialogue and establish an empathetic connection? This question is addressed by Franziska Lauber in her work "A Little Gesture":

Inspired by a found video in which a coal tit lands on a girl's hand to take the offered seeds, Franziska Lauber explores human-nature relationships. The girl's hand is replaced by the artist's hand which is no longer in the same digital space as the coal tit. In a loop, the coal tit repeatedly returns to the hand without actually taking the sunflower seeds offered. The illusion of a shared encounter in the same physical and digital space only occurs when the bird seems to land on the artist's finger. The sentences presented as continuous text are in the form of a monologue, representing projections and expectations regarding non-human beings.
