“We stopped seeing the street as a series of snapshots but as an endless movie”(Crab man and Signpost, 2011, 16)
Having experienced a number of stumbling blocks along the way, our process has been developing constantly and reflects the performance process found in the text “A sardine box of tricks”. In this text the performers/authors guide the reader through their performance process of researching and performing in a city landscape. Most importantly there process of exploring the site inspired us to follow in their footsteps and “become part of the street’s regular life”, (Crabman and signpost, 2011, 16)

A tactic they used was to “wear something that sets you apart and allows others to have permission to approach you”, encouraging people to share their stories of the street with you. This was something we thought would be important in disrupting the rhythm of the street but would also personalise the space and remove it from it’s superficial retail use. By using pervasive media we then discussed using the words of the audience who engaged with our performance as process and create a QR code for their story of the street. This would allow us to concrete their personal interaction with the space within the code and share it on a global level through the use of pervasive media.
