Working in any visual medium (photographs, video, drawing, painting, rubbing or casts), investigate and record a fragment gleaned from the site visits. Get in close. Fish catch-labels or the faces of traders in Billingsgate, security equipment or the heat haze from Telehouse. Become absorbed. Don’t try to understand the whole site – just your fragment. Allow yourself to be drawn in.

Write a caption to your document. Record processes and actions, results and interpretations.
