documenting
The essence of documenting is watching and listening: you catch the moment when something is created that matters, and you zero in on it. I take pictures, make videos, record sound, collect sketches, doodles, all sorts of things. Afterwards, I rearrange the collected material, create unexpected links, and thereby bring out the surprises that occur during a work process in which the participants feel seen and heard.
