APRIL 25, 2011

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). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

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.

Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. We have prioritized opening up to as many partners as possible through collaborative structures that scale. Letting myself ignore glaring problems that still exist. And so we wait, and we put them off, and eventually, we pretend they aren''t problems. We have to fix them.

MuseumNext had four main sections: Interactive activities , including an opening workshop with a group of designers associated with an extremely wonderful exhibition called Doing it for the Kids featuring sustainable toy designs. That said, the phrase "structured opportunity" is where MuseumNext suffered most. Facilitator bits.

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My strategy is: make it work really well, research what works and doesn't, and share the design lessons with the world. Maybe not. My model is the shining star. His is the virus.

I led two sessions, one on visitor co-created museum experiences, and the other on design inspirations from outside museums. Visitor Co-Created Museum Experiences This session was a dream for me, one that brought together instigators of three participatory exhibit projects: MN150 (Kate Roberts), Click! More on that in months to come.

But I also had a more immediate problem: I had no idea how to lead a staff meeting. As Parker writes in the introduction: "Gatherings crackle and flourish when real thought goes into them, when (often invisible) structure is baked into them, and when a host has the curiosity, willingness, and generosity of spirit to try."

We think about this redefinition of affinity not just in terms of our programming but our internal structures as well. If we don't focus on designing for bridging, it won't happen. As we developed new 3rd Friday community festivals , we were careful to design them as intergenerational experiences. Bridging is another story.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum. I blogged about the opportunity in September 2009, and then faced a new problem: 92 people expressed their interest in helping.

So if you have to leave early, no worries, if you get interrupted, maybe a kid barges into your room while you’re working from home, no problem, maybe your boss bothers you, don’t worry, we’re going to get all that good stuff in your hands. So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods.

I personally want to move away from the metaphor of making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for lack of a better word, social.

It’s about thinking about science centers and the public understanding of science as a human problem. However, I was encouraged by the popularity of forensic science and the widespread and growing awareness of the problem of false convictions in our criminal justice system. How did you make decisions about how to structure the story?

This attitude is often self-serving: it’s also a practical problem for those who actually want to create change. The problem is that my current audience is vocal and my future audience is silent. One of the most promising models for doing so (and a potential way to structure the NAS report) is scenario-based planning.
