I particularly enjoyed performing knowing others were documenting me. I felt that this heightened my awareness of what was going on. Having a camera and recording equipment shoved in my face made me actively work to make the sounds (or images) more sensitive to that particular device. Perhaps the documentation guided the performance to some extent - no, certainly it did - I still think the documentation was part of the performance and not sure whether that is a positive or negative thing yet! Surely that depends on the performance, and surely particular performances would set their own parameters for documentation?
