Documentatjo ntatjon To document a media installatjon… - identjfy its components and elements (possibly including the space and acoustjcs), - explain how they are connected, - describe their roles in terms of aesthetjcs and functjonality, - establish the factors most likely to prevent each component from fulfjlling its role. (Laurenson 2001) 25
