I was particularly inspired by the case studies related to art and civic action (like Paint the Street ) and intrigued by the "implications" pop-outs asking questions about how the case studies might impact your own organization's practice. What's the relationship between the goals of participation and the techniques employed?

In the past year, I''ve seen the conversation shift to talking about impact and sustainability of these projects--how we evaluate audience participation and how we can shift from experimental pilots to more day-to-day implementation. Are there certain kinds of institutions that are more well-suited for participatory techniques than others?

Recently, we''ve been talking at our museum about techniques for capturing compelling audio/video content with visitors. Also, on a personal level, I had this really powerful experience with my mother in a Storycorps booth in Grand Central years ago that had a profound impact on me.

Our museum is highly participatory: plenty of opportunities for visitors to contribute, for artists to collaborate, for community members to co-create. As a designer, I wanted to present participation as "value-neutral," or, as I wrote, another technique "for the cultural professional''s toolbox."

Teens are perceived as an audience that is particularly disaffected and hard to reach, and institutions are continually seeking new techniques that might connect them to core content experiences. The first of these reasons is practical. The other three are cultural, and I'm not sure how accurate they are.

There are several learning cohort groups, including one on better understanding network impact.

Think Yelp , eBay , or Amazon.

How do I know that?

Paul home over time, or the Boston Museum of Science's beautiful theater experience about Nikola Tesla, or an incredible single artist show, it stands out. It's unforgettable.
