OCTOBER 25, 2011

This year’s Academy Award winning film – Inside Job – is one of the most powerful descriptions of what went wrong leading up to the financial collapse of 2008.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. Participation in science research is a good basis on which to develop a framework for participatory models because it is based on a consistent scientific process with many steps.

In 2008, when this group was assembled, they had political backing, financial support, and an energetic approach to their work. The early participatory projects are terrific. How would you navigate the political minefields of such an endeavor? The root of my frustration with the book is not that the project never came to fruition.

This post was written by Jaime Kopke , the founder/director of the Denver Community Museum , a pop-up community-generated institution that ran from Oct 2008-April 2009. The DCM was a temporary, pop-up museum which ran from October 2008 - April 2009 in an unused storefront in downtown Denver. I was shocked.and very happy.

If you care about how participatory art experiences can shape civic processes, read Bedoya's post. Adam and I first met in 2008, when we were part of a National Academies think tank-ish thing on the future of museums and libraries. The way we talk about our work helps shape its importance to current and potential audiences.

to come out of 2008's SXSW Conference was for moderators of panels to use Twitter (or back channel tool) to poll the audience upfront and monitor it in real time. To make this model work, there was another IRC backchannel that streamed audio from the conference and someone did the equivalent of live tweeting. One of the reflections.

To me, an open photo policy is a cornerstone of any institution that sees itself as a visitor-centered platform for participatory engagement. And I think the fourth and fifth are bizarre and ungenerous to visitors. When people share their photos of your museum, they promote and spread your content to new audiences in authentic ways.

Anna had been the founding Curator of Education at the National Building Museum, led the Rolling Rainforest project, and was a real innovator in developing in-depth participatory design experiences with community members (though I wouldn't have used those words at the time). I expected the museum blogosphere to explode in 2007 or 2008.

When I wrote about this in 2008, I focused on the question of how to design exhibits to be optimized for "pointiness." If we think about network effects not in terms of data collection but in terms of a useful outcome for visitors and institutions, we can design platforms that reflect our participatory values.
