Abstract
This chapter proposes that interactive documentary needs to utilise the affordances of the network in a way similar to other online media. To help with this, documentary can use design methods to identify the affordances of the network to then connect media into a web of relations. Design in this context is also a process that responds to problems that arise through change, and this ability to negotiate change is key in the fast-paced environment of the Internet.
