Abstract

Continuing on from Chap. 5, this chapter presents the fifth and sixth steps of the PED methodology: the performed experience and the analyses conducted on the performed experience. Step 5 offers a description of one of the instances in which the case study for this book, Collect Yourselves!, was performed. It then presents the analyses conducted on this one instance: thematic analysis, modified interaction analysis, and the novel method of ‘coded performance analysis’. This hybrid form, created specifically for the purposes of this work, is explained in detail so that readers can generate coded performance analyses of their own. The final section of the chapter, the findings from Step 6, begins with a brief synopsis of how the performance discussed in this chapter aligns with the other instances conducted and analysed for the project from which this case study draws. It then discusses the key findings from that project. The PED process produced new knowledge, theories, and insights that contribute to performance studies, HCI, interaction design, experience design, and PED itself. These include a new category of media sharing interaction called ‘performed photos’; a new category of intermedial doubling called ‘doubled indexicality’; an exploration of ‘connection’; a discussion of the counterintuitive ways that liminality interacts with conversation; and a framework for understanding the investment and perception of meaning in digital media referred to as ‘attending’ and ‘marking’.
