This article is interested in the documentation necessary for exhibiting interactive, digital installations, how it is created and how it influences the way an artwork is deployed in an exhibition. Digital artworks can be extremely difficult to install. They require specific knowledge, variable materials and technological equipment. Moreover, digital artworks can be ephemeral and subject to change. Documenting digital art is not only important for preserving and restoring works for the future but also for installing digital artworks in the present. Documentation functions as a set of guidelines for limiting errors and misinterpretations. Therefore, documentation impacts the actualisation of each artwork by indicating which elements are needed and how they should be connected. By providing instructions regarding how to install an artwork, documentation also allows the artist or the collecting institution to exercise authority over an artwork.
