Recently, I've been doing a lot of workshops with cultural professionals around the question of developing authentic relationships between institutions and visitors. There's a fundamental strangeness to the concept of a relationship between a human and an organization. I expect you'll remember some basic things about me--say, my name.

From day 1, I believed that we needed to focus in our first year on creating new participatory events to engage the community.

The majority of the book is a tour of the conceptualized physical institution, with smaller sections devoted to the political history of the project and the activities (mostly participatory, distributed, and digital) that the team undertook from 2009-2011 to start building their constituency.

In short, it limits museums from being places that are trusted as institutions of public engagement and interaction--the places many museums claim they want to be. Museums aren't the only venues facing this question: news outlets, corporate brands, and educators are also grappling with the question of trust in the participatory age.

One of my greatest interests is the "p articipatory museum," in which there is substantive, unfacilitated visitor-to-visitor interaction. When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. How can we improve on these models to becomes sites for participatory giving?

It’s much less threatening to approach someone by approaching and interacting with his/her dog, which will inevitably lead to interaction with its owner. In the museum, neither of us has a vested interest in the exhibit with which we are both interacting, so neither of us can extrapolate back to interest in the other person.

This highlights the fact that while participatory design is by no means exclusive to the Web, that is the place most of the current experimentation is happening. Specifically, the Brooklyn Museum is doing research about the role of independence and influence in participatory experiences. They kept the interface simple.

When I think of the times I have experienced civic discourse in a positive way, it was because of a personal relationship built through a common interest. A lot of this has to do with creating more venues for people from different backgrounds to interact safely--and that's a place museums can start. For me, that's often sports.

Jyri argues that social networks that succeed are based around objects, not relationships. Currently, these verbs are primarily non-social: visitors watch and interact singly or in pre-defined groups. This is hard to do when exhibit interactions are not personalized. If every visitor looks, there is no social interaction.

One of the impediments to discourse in museums is that fact that designers want to jump straight from individuals interacting with content to interacting with each other. A successful level 2 experience builds on killer content (level 1), not interaction for its own sake. You press the button. You drop the balloon.

I whole-heartedly support the goals that motivate the hire--to connect with visitors online and onsite in more meaningful relationships--but I worry about focusing such a broad mandate into the tiny point of a single individual. After all, you don't want everyone who visits your institution to have a relationship with just one person.
