The relationship between digital video technologies, practitioners and the possibility spaces in which nascent digital video practices assemble relies on the dynamic engagement between technological possibilities and creative practices. This paper examines the relationship between practitioners, technology and technological infrastructure within documentary media practices that emerged in and around the Occupy Wall Street movement.In locales with well-connected infrastructure, the collaboration between hardware, software and global communications networks, often allows for makers of digital video to rapidly upload footage to real-time online platforms. Although quick uploading capacity appears to offer a relative ease of documentation, the immediacy of publication can be at once liberating and exceedingly complex in both the ethical and creative quandaries that may arise, for example, from the live streaming of political protests. How might relationships between live streaming and documentary methods of video production offer the practitioner and the audience a clearer sense of how documentary may or may not be evolving as a constantly changing, experimental and creative form of storytelling? This paper will examine the intricacies and ethics of these evolving relationships through an examination of the evolution of Tim Pool's live streaming practice that came to prominence during the Occupy Wall Street movement
