With one shift in our understanding about data, we can reclaim a sense of wonder, creative agency, and value in our data work: Recognizing that information does not equal data and data does not equal knowledge.

In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery.

There's a constant dialogue in participatory work about how to make peoples' contributions meaningful. I've written about different structures for participatory processes (especially in museums), and recently, I've been interested in how we can apply these structures to the design of public space. Kids frequently suffer from tokenism.

Susan was doing these amazing collaborative, user-generated content projects over the Internet.

It was a simple pathway of fringed fabric that invited you to wander into a seating area with information about the drought (it made sense if you were there). While "final" versions of these prototypes would need to stand alone on the sidewalk, the best prototypes are facilitated. The arts ARE future-making.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements. So many museum exhibitions relegate the participatory bits in at the end.

The kind of strategic planning processes that I lead are inclusive and participatory which means that the group is consulted, the vision of the group, the energy, we kind of tap into the energy, vision, knowledge, experience of the people who will be doing the work in order to make plans. Where are we not putting our energy? Okay, yeah.

The Race exhibit served as a facilitation of potential dialogue based on a very simple finger-based exchange. Nor would that information necessarily be compelling to most visitors. That's where it becomes useful to send certain tidbits of information to particular people, or groups of people. What others should we consider?
