We had about thirty participants ranging from MAH trustees to artists, educators to architects, moms to grandfathers. Here are the slides so you can see what we shared. For example, one of our groups was focused on commuters. It was an evening meeting with beer and chips. We invited lots of people who didn't know each other.

Arts Wire was patterned after the Well and was designed as an online conversation community for artists and arts organizations. Part of my job was to evangelize about the Internet and later the web - how artists should harness its power by getting an email address instead of using their fax machines! 09 was the first version I used).

Here's a few (good) examples of how I have remixed other people's work or other people have remixed my work. The powerpoint slides came from a webinar I did a couple years ago for University Extension professionals. The title was " Ten Steps to Extension 2.0." The illustration is a powerpoint slide that I shared on slideshare.

When we work with diverse collaborators, from opera singers and ukelele players to knitters and graffiti artists, we catalyze new partnerships and relationships that make our community stronger and more cohesive. A simple example at our institution had to do with making the facility more welcoming.

This is the model that governs most businesses and artistic endeavors. Then they start to slide. Most of the time some improbable deus ex machina saves the day: for example an unexpected cash gift or a free building. In other words: do great stuff while you can, and when you can't do it anymore, stop. Then they die.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? Will the bureaucracy of the institution drown the artists in red tape? No, this is not a reality TV show.

These are the notes and slides for a keynote speech I'm giving this Saturday at MuseumNext in Indianapolis. They don't have to be professional artists, or wealthy donors, or famous historians to contribute. It's not an easy slide into first, even if everyone is "for" inclusion on the surface. But you don't have to do it alone.

A week before our session, I posted a request to my broader Twitter network for arts and social media examples and asked people to add them to the wiki. That's where I learned about a Twitter hashtag called #2amt - a channel for theatre artistic professionals to discuss their craft and trade and support one another.

My first remote job was to work with a virtual team to manage an online network for artists, called Artswire. Virtual meetings may have some specific norms, for example: We will use the technology that most accessible to everyone on our team. See slide 30 for a simple recipe for doing this exercise as part of a virtual meeting.

There were ethical questions about the provenance of the bodies, decency concerns about the display of naked bodies and fetuses to mixed-age audiences, and aesthetic concerns about the artistic, potentially disrespectful presentation of the bodies (one man, for example, is shown carrying his skin in his hands).

As an artist and a lecturer at the university, I'm expected to put my work up in competitions as art. Can you give me an example? The most recent example would be the zombie game. For example, I’m modifying a digital midi theremin as an alternative mouse device. People don’t want to share it anymore once it’s huge.

Sree delivered the lunch time keynote about “How Institutions Go Digital” ( Slides and Curated Tweets ) which was a funny, engaging, and insightful talk about digital transformation of a staid institution. Artists have been using the right tool at the right time to make art. Everything we do is in service of the art.

We've done audio, we've done video, we've done text, and we've done some photo slide shows. And it has occurred to me that it almost seems like journalists need, from the way the things are right now, to re-imagine themselves as artists, and that they almost have to have a different mentality, "I'm an artist, I've got to find funding."

You can view (and download ) the slides and audio here, which feature our provocations and the discussion that followed. For example, “Nazi science” came up several times as a “can’t”—but the Holocaust Museum’s Deadly Medicine exhibition was a successful project that didn’t bring the walls down. The audio starts noisy.

I asked Shelley if she received any negative feedback from the artists about their work being treated like data rather than art. And as one woman comments in the podcast, for her, the thrill was about having her photo in the museum. It’s a research project!
