Riders have spoken: replaying and archiving pervasive performances

In this paper we present a practical study that formed part of the larger Creator project [1 ]. Data, such as GPS trails, video and audio files from a pervasive-performance were used to explore multidisciplinary understandings of such ‘ephemeral’ pieces. Video and audio content tagging was also explored as a device to aid in developing the archive for replay. It is recommended that projects involving artistic practice should make documentation and subsequent archiving part of their overall research strategy.
