I eagerly read about a new social psychology research study in which whites, Asians, and Latinos engaged in a simple collaborative activity--making a music video together. When the music video was not focused on Mexican culture, no such change occurred. Implicit Associations test. Direct questioning.

Last week, I gave a talk about participatory museum practice for a group of university students at UCSC. Teenagers are often the target for participatory endeavors, and they definitely have high interest in creative expression, personalizing museum experiences, and using interactive or technological tools as part of their visit.

I'm gearing up for some conference talks next month, and one of these is part of a very cool session, Eye on Design, at the Western Museums Association conference. On the web, such socializing can happen around games (MMOs), shopping (Amazon discussions), trip planning (TripAdvisor), music or book collections ( Librarything ).

Yes, bars have always featured live music, comedy, and spoken word. But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. But why not reap the benefits of having a nightlife associated with the museum? A place, in the spirit of the journal, to be civic (though not necessarily civil).

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Frequently, we get stuck on developing participatory projects or events that serve as many people as possible.
