Abstract

This paper explores what we are calling "Guerrilla Research Tactics" (GRT): research methods that exploit emerging mobile and cloud-based digital technologies. We examine some case studies in the use of this technology to generate research data directly from the physical fabric and the people of the city. We argue that GRT is a new and novel way of engaging public participation in urban, place-based research because it facilitates the co-creation of knowledge, with city inhabitants, "on the fly." This paper discusses the potential of these new research techniques and what they have to offer researchers operating in the creative disciplines and beyond. This work builds on and extends Gauntlett's "new creative methods" (2007) and contributes to the existing body of literature addressing creative and interactive approaches to data collection.
