FEBRUARY 15, 2012

I'm personally most excited about the two types of interns who will be reporting to me: Community Research interns, who will start developing a methodology for us to use to understand how people in Santa Cruz connect with arts and culture experiences and what role the museum can play in satisfying their interests. Sounds good?

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). Yes and no.

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.

Proposals involve sculpture, performance, participatory-projects, videos, and installation that use and respond to the museum’s collection. While there is a strong resistance toward “fixing” a work, Elsewhere’s curators are all artists and view their role as collaborators in the overall creative development of the museum-as-artwork.

The idea of including stakeholders in the process is often referred to as co-designing, or participatory design. What would the structure be like? The article highlights the importance of making sure visual designs are accessible, and how establishing ADA compliance should play a significant role in all marketing communications.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. Participation in science research is a good basis on which to develop a framework for participatory models because it is based on a consistent scientific process with many steps.

Specifically, we analyze the relative social behavior of people on buses versus those on trains, and look for clues as to what design elements contribute to different kinds of participatory behavior. Even I, who never rode a school bus, can identify with that cultural experience. And if someone is celebrating, he sings along.

Creating event-specific rules can level the playing field, make the implicit explicit, and create a specific culture for the event. The Art of Gathering expanded my understanding of what it means to build a powerful culture of participation. Parker calls these event rules "pop up rules," and they can be as silly or serious as desired.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. When I decided to write a book about visitor participation in cultural institutions, I knew I'd do it in a way that reflected the values behind the book itself--transparency, inclusion, and meaningful community participation. Check out the other parts here.

The theme is "Civic Dialogue," and the journal includes articles on the historical, cultural, media, and museum practice of getting people talking to each other (including one by me about such endeavors on the web). But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

SEPTEMBER 29, 2010

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true. Gladwell argues that real social change occurs when strong, rather than weak-tie networks, organize hierarchically, rather than in a de-centralized network structure.

It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. Companies should be especially careful about building engagement platforms without developing engagement cultures, a recipe for failure.). Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven.

One of the most promising models for doing so (and a potential way to structure the NAS report) is scenario-based planning.
