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. The dematerial web platform provides an interface to a distributed Flickr archive through which participants can share their experiences with other Convention participants and with a wider public. Donated by many different people, the archive will provide an informal record of the Convention that is based on folksonomy – a collaborative method of organising and annotating digital material through the creation of ‘tags’ that are meaningfully applied to individual digital files.
