Last week, I facilitated an interactive keynote in Seattle at 2011 Tech for Good Leadership Summit sponsored by Microsoft Community Affairs , in partnership with NPower Seattle. By all accounts , the event held the space for peer learning. I was presenting a strategic technology workshop at one of their conferences.

What does "big data" look like for museums?

By a strange and lucky coincidence, I was at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum (EMPSFM) in Seattle for a two-day workshop. EMPSFM is one of a handful of museums worldwide for which the death of the King of Pop is a very big deal. Are museums only relevant when they can serve our most pressing needs?

On Monday, I gave the keynote at the Museums in Conversation conference in Tarrytown, NY. I learned to cultivate creative greed while working on Operation Spy at the International Spy Museum, where I was lucky to be working on a project that was so new to us that we didn't have any pre-established models or structures for doing it.

Killer content. This summer, we opened two exhibitions at my museum that are highly relevant to local culture. Before the Princes of Surf exhibition, these boards rested deep in the collection storage of the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. But a bridge to nowhere is quickly abandoned. Substantive programming. Muscle and bone.

To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). I believe that focusing specifically on the social capacity of an object, rather than its content or interpretation, yields new design techniques for museum exhibits and other participatory spaces.

She told me an anecdote about an experience with the Stanford Art Museum exhibition, Question , which included a keyboard where visitors could type their own thoughts about art, to be projected on a wall along with quotes by famous people. But by displaying visitor content, visitor input exhibits take this relation to the next level.

Nicole and her classmates are building a rapid-fire, user-generated online and physical exhibit which will be open June 6-8 in Seattle. What’s the content? As a graduate student in a museum studies program, I have learned how to develop an exhibit based on a collection of objects or a specific story. What’s the message?”
