Synchronizing performance
Seeking well-being and survival human presence judges and anticipates what will come next. In meeting a new person there is a moment when encounter starts. Bodies reach out through perception and from the first instance a careful tuning of presence emerges. Lots of tacit knowledge is exchanged in such moments of exploring doubt and hesitation. Granular perception offers instant negotiation resulting in synchronizing the performance of presence to establish common ground upon which interaction may proceed.
In mediated communication technology formats human presence and therefore affects processes of synchronization fundamentally. Also in online realities synchronizing performance is necessary to be able to communicate and collaborate. When no physical tuning is possible, human beings negotiate synchronization of perfromance in a variety of ways.
