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 Denver Community Museum (DCM) was a grassroots operation in almost every sense. The DCM was a place that was part science experiment.

It's not every day that a visitor buys pizza for everyone in the museum. Then again, Saturday was hardly normal at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. I was so proud to see how our overall ethos of participation and social bridging was manifest in making the experience really wonderful for everyone.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings.

If you care about how participatory art experiences can shape civic processes, read Bedoya's post. He made a comment on Michael Kaiser's fairly formulaic "great artists lead the nation" post, laying bare the banality of most of the language used to describe and present art experiences to the public.

Games are already highly participatory, but over the last few years game designers have been giving players more control over the gameworld and experience. Spore was released in September of 2008 to huge sales expectations. But Spore is an entirely "creator"-focused experience, which severely limits its potential for adoption.

This can be an incredibly technical topic, as it focuses on the ways that platforms (online, exhibits, museums) can harness the individual activities of many visitors and create meaningful experiential outputs that connect people to each other.

Their questions made me think about a blog post I wrote in 2008, The Future of Authority. While I originally wrote this post to advocate for more participatory practice (i.e. letting museum visitors contribute and collaborate in museums), I now see this as a crucial issue also for more democratic and inclusive practice (i.e.
