Beck''s project is unusual because he deliberately resurrected a mostly-defunct participatory platform: sheet music for popular songs. In his thoughtful preface to this project, I reconnected with five lessons I''ve learned from participatory projects in museums and cultural sites. In my experience, the best participatory experiences are as constrained and clear as possible in the invitation offered, and as open-ended as possible in the outcome generated.

In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery. Background: Why They Did What They Did The Henry Art Gallery exhibition we worked with, Vortexhibition Polyphonica , was intended to explore three big ideas: Different voices “intervene” or add new points of view to the exhibition at periodic intervals.

Yesterday, I had the delightful opportunity to participate in the 3six5 project , a yearlong participatory project in which 365 people write 365 journal entries for every day of 2010. 3six5 has all the hallmarks of a good participatory project: It offers an enjoyable activity that is scaffolded by simple specifications without prescribing any particular result. It showcases diverse voices. Tags: storytelling Unusual Projects and Influences usercontent

This is the second in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. Several hundred people contributed their opinions, stories, suggestions, and edits to The Participatory Museum as it was written. Many people wrote at length about their passion for participatory design and their desire to contribute to what they saw as an important resource that would "help advance the field."

When should you turn down the invitation to share your voice? How should you make these decisions in an imperfect world where every host is using you for something, and every voice is in danger of being manipulated, misunderstood, or subverted? There are many ways for voices to get chopped and twisted. Sometimes, choosing NOT to participate is a powerful statement that protects ownership of your voice and story as your own. At first, I thought it was a joke.

After listening to this clip a few times, I wondered: what if museums dropped the authoritative voice, the cultural voice, the friendly teacher voice, and adopted a novice voice? I love the Radiolab experience, but I wonder how much the success of the "novice voice" is contingent on the context of conversation. A novice alone on an exhibit panel could be as isolating as any other single exhibit voice, and potentially more annoying.

In these conversations, people often say, "don't expert voices matter?" It lets you be the only expert with a voice. Single voices represented on single labels is not scalable. I believe we need to develop museum "platforms" that allow us to harness, prioritize, and present the diversity of voices around a given object, exhibit, or idea. These rules are not uniform, and their differences often influence the makeup of users who feel welcome and choose to engage.

I’ve long admired Improv Everywhere , the NYC-based participatory public art group. For about half an hour, hundreds of people play together, silently, as directed by disembodied voices inside their headphones. The voice tells you what to do –stand up, shake hands, play Twister, make silly shapes—and you do it. Two and a half minutes in, the “omnipotent voice” Steve introduces himself.

The book is a guide about how to navigate and thrive in a connected world that has been increasingly been influenced and increasingly defined by two different forces, old and new power. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. This way of working requires a different, more participatory leadership model and mindset that Allison Fine and I first wrote about in The Networked Nonprofit and others have written about called “networked leadership.”

Sharing forges connections with followers that improves relationships, achieve goals, and amplifies a leader’s influence. The big shift that leaders have to make is to be more comfortable with openness. Participatory engagement invites people to answer a particular question or comment on a post. Technology has altered the way to connect and cultivate professional relationships and it is also transforming how leaders lead.

At Kelvingrove, we were particularly taken by Looking at Art , a gallery that invited us to check out a painting in various stages of restoration, to look at the backs of paintings and the things that were crossed out, and to learn more about the stories and influences behind specific artworks. That work showed in the human voices and stories throughout the museum. When we say we want our museum to be "audience-centered," what do we mean?
