Consider:

  1. Medium to use for documentation (photography, video, text, audio, html page, theater, research paper, storytelling, book, zine, instructions..... )
  2. What aspect of your piece that you want to communicate
  3. Style (description, narrative, theatrical, comercial fictional)
  4. how and where to share your work
