The chairs were cast-off art, reclaimed as art, available for people to take off the hooks and use. What kind of an art institution is this? It encourages process-driven performances and art projects. It takes the kind of risks that a university art gallery should take. They were there for artist talks.

On Friday, I offered a participatory design workshop for Seattle-area museum professionals ( slides here ). We concluded by sharing the tough questions each of us struggles with in applying participatory design techniques to museum practice. Develop a "question of interest" that relates to your content. Ask yourself.

Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off. What the Videos Reveal I'm hooked on these videos, but I feel mixed about the content. Music videos. Instead, this post focuses on a fascinating aspect of Month at the Museum: the video applications.

I am recommending the transcript of Clay Shirky's speech about Gin, Television, and Social Surplus , in which he argues that the next twenty years will be marked by people's slow, incremental, and astoundingly impactful awakening from being passive consumers (of TV) to partly active content creators. But one page! I'm not sure I succeeded.

While there is much talk about supporting participation and making museum content relevant, the word "community" hangs like a poorly-defined carrot on a shtick. The article references connecting with young people via social media, at-risk youth via exhibit co-creation, and urban creatives via public art installations.

On the web, such socializing can happen around games (MMOs), shopping (Amazon discussions), trip planning (TripAdvisor), music or book collections ( Librarything ). I once toured an art museum with an art educator who told me that she thinks of certain pieces as “old friends” who she loves to visit and communicate with from time to time.

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. It's also standard practice in community arts programs.

I want to see more multi-person exhibits, more prompts for discussion about content, more tools to facilitate connecting wtih other visitors whose interests are similar or in some way useful to your own. Imagine a music store where each CD lists the names of the last 20 people to pick it up, and what those people ultimately bought.
