Museum 2.0

OCTOBER 15, 2009

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? The program operates like a camp that is co-led by the teens involved.

Ze Frank is a participatory artist who creates digital projects that are explicitly about creating and enhancing authentic interpersonal connections. Photography, video, audio, text, origami, mail art. Most of the participatory projects I've been involved with are rooted in a community that is geographically-defined.

I'll be collaborating with colleagues online to further plan our sessions and online materials. We will discuss flickr, tagging, digital photography, flickr contests, participatory media campaigns, and much more. There is just no replacement for face-to-face connections. I've volunteered to be a session designer for two (yikes!)

It's rare that a participatory museum project is more than a one-shot affair. But next month, Britain Loves Wikipedia will commence--the third instance of a strange and fascinating collaborative project between museums and the Wikipedia community (Wikimedians).

Collaboration on student projects or other ways. Lessig presents this as a desirable ideal and argues, among other things, that the health, progress, and wealth creation of a culture is fundamentally tied to this participatory remix process.
