			A mounted phone, a large table-stand microphone and two go-pro cameras, of which one mounted on a structure that was built over the dining table to film the mapping exercise that was part of the interview, were required to respectively live-stream the go-pro recording, a conference call and to also record high-quality audio.

			Other materials required for these interviews included a large paper map of Southampton Island, an acetate sheet and waterproof markers in front of the interviewee, and a piece of paper to mark specific timestamps in front of the interviewer.

			This was in addition to another phone mounted on a tripod elsewhere in the room to record an offline version of the interview- and of course, the masks, handsanitizers, and informed consent sheets.

	The stark contrast between a packing list of 20 items, to facilitate the participatory presence of Southern researchers, seemingly required to conduct these TEK interviews- and the continuation of the interview with one cup of tea, and one recording device- begs the question of how all those bodies matter, and whether they matter at all.

	The interviews were conducted at a large dining table in Leonard Netser’s living room, which provided for the required distancing between “interviewer” and “interviewee”. A third, locally hired research assistant, was also present in the room to attend to several recording devices, streaming platforms, battery levels and communication channels. All three people present in the room were masked and physically distancing from each other.
