The Art of Participation provides a retrospective on participatory art as well as presenting opportunities for visitors to engage in contemporary (“now”) works. If the participatory instructions were integrated into the standard black labels, visitors would not be as aware of the commonalities across the interactive art pieces.

I remember her community of clocks project -- she facilitated content creation from schools around the world on the theme of clocks. These projects were done nearly ten years ago, but they presage what the social web, participatory media. How much has our environment, culture, or information overload changed?

We are asked to do it in controlled environments. Our job as organizational communicators lies in trying to facilitate a larger conversation by providing the means for people to share, perhaps initiate conversations, and highlight the great work and thoughts of others. Yes, that difficult word, BUT.

When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. This post discusses participatory gifting in three parts: the why, the what, and finally, the how. How can we improve on these models to becomes sites for participatory giving?

In our years of talking to staff, boards, and communities about participatory philanthropy, people often talk about their worst participatory decision-making experiences.

A platform for museum staff to serve as facilitators of safe spaces for difficult conversations? The Living Library was conceived in Denmark in 2000 as a way to engage youth in dialogue about ending violence by encouraging people to meet their prejudices and fears in a safe, fun, facilitated environment. well, you know.

The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers. 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.

It's a controlled environment--and while neither individual is in control, the partially limiting barrier makes it feel okay to act atypically. It's also a reason that people will game with strangers; in that case, the games' rules form the partial barrier that facilitates social interaction. But I'm not so sure of this.

Who are we in the context of our community and the environment? But there are some benefits, some real clear benefits of inclusive participatory strategic planning. Some questions to consider, how much have we shifted our program due to changes in the external environment? Who are we? Where are we not putting our energy?

With a system to help you facilitate application reviews , you can use your grants management software to schedule reminders for when reviews are ready to move to the next stage. Are you looking at incorporating more participatory grantmaking principles? Do you want to increase the number of grant programs you offer?

Our job was to provide a structured environment in which to develop ideas and the expertise to build the best of them. People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory. We'd talk about the work itself.

Deconstructing the Social Experience As a designer of participatory experiences, my biggest question about Artprize is what made all these conversations and experiences happen in the first place. It was the best example I've seen of a physical environment operating like the kind of successful social platforms Engestrom described in 2005.

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. Sometimes, you have too many ideas so you need a strong facilitator who can make sure we hear from everyone, but are able to put these ideas through a funnel and find those common threads. How do we do this well? That was one really fun example. .

We need to set up spaces in which doing the right thing--welcoming all kinds of people--is easy, facilitated and enforced. Nina's research keeps finding that the right kind of constraints work to produce a better participatory museum experience. We want to be platforms for building relationships around a central core.
