Museum 2.0

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process. Our previous big exhibition, All You Need is Love, was highly participatory for visitors but minimally participatory in the development process. Without further ado, here's what we did to make the exhibition participatory.

This is the final segment in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This posts explains why and how I self-published The Participatory Museum. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to license The Participatory Museum using Creative Commons and give away the content for free online. Why Self-Publish?

And finally, and perhaps most interestingly, here's a comparison of Jan-June 2011 vs Jan-June 2012. Over 800 people volunteered their talents to support our programs, with the majority collaborating on our monthly themed 3rd Friday events. A big festival with 50 collaborators and 1,000 visitors might rate a $250 budget.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

FEBRUARY 13, 2007

I personally want to move away from the metaphor of making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for lack of a better word, social. Dutch Nonprofits Collaborate With Del.icio.us. Maybe it is more like moment capture. Tagging in Art Museums.
