I’ve long admired Improv Everywhere , the NYC-based participatory public art group. For about half an hour, hundreds of people play together, silently, as directed by disembodied voices inside their headphones. The voice tells you what to do –stand up, shake hands, play Twister, make silly shapes—and you do it.

But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. Commenting on the high level of participation at Cafe Scientifique in Denver, John Cohen and Helen MacFarlane write: Several group members have said that they happily ask questions or voice opinions at the Cafe, but would not do so at a lecture.

When people ask about blogging, the question of comments comes up more frequently than any other. Why not ask more typical website questions, "why don't more people visit my blog?" They demonstrate that the blog is a more participatory vehicle than other kinds of media. It's a bit strange. it gets me excited. I do so rarely.

Introduce yourself if you haven’t, say hi, but ask questions, you know, leave comments. And if there are questions that you’re like, “Oh, this is a really good one,” feel free to just say, “Hey, Julie, we got a good question here.” I’m unable to address specific hand-raising questions.

You can join the conversation in the blog comments and add your own voice to the debate. From this naturally flows our engagement in the question of "LAM convergence:" how these institutions live out their similar missions of access and preservation in daily practice and how they overlap as spaces for civic engagement.
