Abstract
This chapter discusses the milieu of academic anthologies and the particular concerns that they arise from, and to. It argues that this anthology provides a variety of reports from scholar practitioners that offer a series of views for what interactive documentary practice is, and might be. It argues that for these practitioner scholars the network emerges as a site of practice, and that as a place for making requires different affordances and understandings than that of legacy documentary. It concludes with a series of propositions about the World Wide Web as a socio-technical system that encourages granular, distributed, and relational forms.
