Performing With the Database: Art Geography Approaches to Research on the Data, Trade, Place, Values Nexus, 2015-2017

This qualitative data collection comprises eight interviews and two group conversations collected as part of the doctoral study: Museum of Contemporary Commodities (MoCC): a research performance. The project worked with partners in London and Exeter between 2015-17 to co-produce a series of site responsive, digitally interactive and relational encounters that were devised and staged between commodities, 'consumers' and everyday retail spaces. These resulting qualitative data examine how these events and encounters were realised and to what effects ie. how the people participating perceived both the event and contemporary commodity cultures and their consequences through the lens of their encounter with the project. Accompanying documentation for this data set includes a ‘MoCC zine’ that documents the journey of the project and the process and methods involved in its co-production.
