Digital files can also be geo-tagged and shown on the dematerial google map that leaves a track of Convention activity. If GPS (Global Positioning System) enabled cameras or mobile phones are used to capture images/sound/video (and the GPS facility is enabled on individual phones) then GPS locations will be automatically saved as part of the digital file.

As part of Tagging_The_Falmouth_Convention speakers and delegates at The Falmouth Convention were invited to document their experiences of the ‘field trips’ and the convention in digital images, videos, sounds and texts. They were invited to upload their digital files to Flickr tagging them with a pre-determined name (taggingtfc); as well as with any other words that provide particular meaning for the participant.

Tagging The Falmouth Convention is an online, collaborative project whose purpose is to provide an 'afterlife' for The Falmouth Convention 2010. The project links to the work already being undertaken by Kate Southworth on networks, and to her 'dematerial' research project and web platform, which is in turn named in homage to Lucy Lippard's essay 'The Dematerialisation of Art' (Art International, February 1968). The link below is to a recent paper by Kate, which explains this research:
