“Pervasive Media is Digital Media delivered into the fabric of real life and based on the situational context at the moment of delivery” (Pervasive Media Studio, 2015). In simpler terms, pervasive media uses wireless networks to combine media (music, films, games) and place (situation). Pervasive media also offers “new relationships between citizens and our environment” (The Pervasive Media Cookbook, 2012) through the use of sensors, databases and live data streaming. For example, the performance, ‘Our Broken Voice’ used pervasive media to interrupt the normalities of everyday life, by engaging the audience and taking them on a journey through the streets, allowing them to piece together the performance for themselves.
