Abstract
The concept of expanded scenography is applied to the analysis of the design and public interaction with the multisensory digital art installation Zelige Door on Golborne Road. This is an attempt to re-think visual and live art practices with communities and the creation of immersive digital environments in terms of a “scenographic ecology of relations.” The analysis aims to reconceptualise the field of environmental-centric live performance in the digital context by exploring an art installation designed to facilitate a synchronic dialogue amongst different design elements and participants on issues related to the aesthetics of the place, urban development, Community Memories, heritage and migration. Concepts such as participatory dramaturgy and remediation will be employed to analyse and theoretically locate the expanded scenography of relations of Zelige Door on Golborne Road within the wider context of activist actions in Britain aimed at preserving and making visible the intangible heritage of migrant communities in contested urban areas undergoing gentrification.
