The conference proceedings from the Society of Artistic Research Conference "Artistic Research Will Eat Itself" Plymouth 2018 is available now. My essay "From Voice-of God to Ringmaster: Live Participatory Documentary and the Imperative to Create Reflexive, Collaborative, Multiperspectival Histories" startsĀ on page 370. The proceedings are loaded with intriguing essays, arresting images and ideas from a conference packed with interesting people - and lecture performances that I consider a close cousin to Live Interactive Documentary. Or as I was calling it up until a few months ago, Live Participatory Documentary, a syllable-intensive term less easy to roll off the tongue. But a rose by any other name...
The super-cool artwork commissioned by the conference and the images from some of the talk/events/lecture-performances are well worth seeing.
