Shared Screens is a semi-documentary montage combining interviews, data-driven visualisations, and motion graphics to explore the relationship between audiences and livestream creators within gaming culture. It focuses specifically on Nintendo-based livestreaming communities, highlighting how shared experiences are constructed in real time through participation and interaction.
The inclusion of both audience and creator perspectives is intended to emphasise how meaning is co-produced within livestream environments, where viewers are not passive consumers but active participants in shaping community identity and content direction. The montage structure allows contrasting behaviours and experiences to be placed alongside one another, highlighting differences in expectations, emotional investment, and engagement.
Through a mix of experimental and documentary visual techniques, the artefact examines how digital communities form around shared experiences and how audience behaviour can directly influence a creator's livelihood, visibility, and success. Ultimately, it positions livestreaming as a collaborative space where audiences actively shape online culture and media production.
