On Sunday I hosted a Flickr Bootcamp, where I worked with non profit, "accidental techies," and helped them learn about better online photo sharing techniques. Working for a non profit, I had very few resources, and I didn't speak the local languages well enough to gather the stories alone.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences.

Recently, we''ve been talking at our museum about techniques for capturing compelling audio/video content with visitors. They designed a participatory project that delivers a compelling end product for onsite and online visitors… and they learned some unexpected lessons along the way. Why did you choose this format instead of video?

It's not the extent to which they are participatory. These institutions are often more connected to their specific, local communities than more generic institutions. They are akin to local news organizations and charities. They may feature community gardens or exhibit labels in languages tailored to locals.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements. So many museum exhibitions relegate the participatory bits in at the end.

It started as a handout for a session that Stacey and I are doing at the California Association of Museums, and then I realized it was so darn useful that it was worth sharing with all of you. We offer these tools in the spirit of sharing and look forward to learning about the techniques you use in your own community.

This is a long post focused on strategic uses of listening rather than specific techniques. For many museums, visitor research--how people use the museum, navigate exhibits, and understand content--may be an equally important arena in which to adopt groundswell listening techniques. Are they learning and sharing what you hoped?

Works are chosen and hung throughout the city using a unique venue matching system whereby local businesses, galleries, and organizations select the artworks they want to host.
