Each card is a piece of art in my mind. Yet, I wanted to be that artist and still do.

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? And the projects themselves are brilliant.

The museum curator does research, is an expert in the particular artistic style, selects the best examples, puts them together in an exhibit, provides important context with annotation on the labels, and so on.

Scarcity captures the mind. The mind orients automatically, powerfully, toward unfulfilled needs. The most recent one was during the The National Arts Marketing Project Conference.

With this in mind, when we produce participatory experiences, while our impetus is to serve our power users with extra content or “check for understanding” interactives, there are so many other ways to use interactives. In this case, I find the most interesting ones to be made by artists. But dinosaurs are sort of a freebie.
