About the project

Papers & Outputs

The fellowship has contributed to the following papers in journals and peer-reviewed conferences, all co-authored between the fellow (and other members of Blast Theory) and the scientists involved. These include accounts of new mobile-phone based performances [1], deeper reflections on previous works (Can You See Me Now [2] and Uncle Roy All Around You [3, 4]), arising from discussions between Blast Theory and the MRL, as well as papers dealing with specific aspects of location-based performance including coping with uncertainty [5], the technique of self-reported positioning [6], and orchestration [7].
