Museum 2.0

JUNE 24, 2010

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. The guide, Vi Mar, was an incredible facilitator. She did several things over the course of the tour to make it participatory, and she did so in a natural, delightful way. This immediately led to cross conversation. But participatory facilitation can be taught.

To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers. Most social objects that mediate conversation among strangers are incidental.

I called in to participate in a radio show in Seattle , then zoomed downtown for meetings, after which I headed home to cook for a dinner party. They edit the conversations into radio shows, which are then made available as a podcast (you can listen to episode featuring me, #89: Museum Secrets, here ). They really cared about me.

will frame the three days we spend together sharing critical insights, engaging in realistic conversations, and realizing that the challenges we face also unite us. Less a conference than a facilitated retreat, the 2016 gathering will encourage the active and full engagement of all participants. Foundations / #COFannual / @COF_.
