It's not topic-specific; I've done these exercises with art, history, science, and children's museums to useful effect. This isn't surprising: when the term "social object" was coined in the online environment , the whole point was that people socialize around specific objects, images, or ideas, not general topics or interests.

If you don’t watch Big Brother , The Apprentice , Dancing with the Stars or X factor you probably dismiss these shows because they revolve around people you don’t know in an environment you find uninteresting and over-hyped.

I recently visited the Power of Children exhibition at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, which also features a pledge activity at a large installation called the Tree of Promise.

Children's museums are the exception; staff are on the watch for unaccompanied adults and kids alike. I once worked in a children's museum once where all the floor staff wore blue vests. Is it safer to engage with strangers in this faux-exclusive environment? Tags: participatory museum visitors.

This session was participatory in several ways, including interactive music-making machines in the audience and half the time reserved for Q&A.

As many of you know, I’m writing a book about participatory design for museums. The book is intended to be a practical guide to participatory museum experiences focused on design strategies, case studies, and activities. The WHY of participatory design is really important.
