In the most extreme cases, I've talked to folks from museums that are government-mandated to provide all content in multiple languages who say they are unable to invite visitors to make comments because they'd have to translate all of them and simply can't dedicate the resources to do so.

Museums, Politics, and Power is a new blog that lives up to its name. Elsewhere in podcast-land, Radiolab did a fascinating piece about cultural appropriation and gate-keeping in hip hop music. Sound familiar? Boston Stories chronicles the radical, human-centered work at the Boston Children''s Museum in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

It's my second week as the Executive Director at The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz, CA, and boy is my everything tired. I'm also making the 2011-2012 budget, getting to know our terrific staff and volunteers, and starting up a few small participatory projects to launch us into being a more community-driven institution.

Dan writes about the explicit and implied "rules" of participation for musicians that create great music both onstage and for the crowd. These might sound obvious, but when you think about how they relate to bad participatory processes, it becomes apparent where things can break down. The process is unequal.

Louis City Museum's amateur video contest. And therein lies an essential problem with this and other similar museum forays into Web 2.0: It sounded like a great project from an innovative, creative place. For those who haven't visited, the City Museum is part obstacle course, part art city, part shoelace factory.

She told me an anecdote about an experience with the Stanford Art Museum exhibition, Question , which included a keyboard where visitors could type their own thoughts about art, to be projected on a wall along with quotes by famous people. Was the idea of other people seeing "Shit" projected on the wall part of its appeal?

When I first heard about OdysseyWorks, I thought their projects were indulgent novelties. OdysseyWorks' projects get to the heart of the fiercest debates in the arts today. Here's how Abe described the project to me: We started the weekend in Christina's comfort zone. It was about an hour drive. It was beautiful noise.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. And the projects themselves are brilliant.

He wandered around the big top playing music with his jiggered musical contraption attached to his body.

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. I spent an hour this morning "brand listening" to what the online world says about one of my favorite museums, the Exploratorium.

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project.

But what works best, music, humor, entertainment, surprise, relatability. It’s focused on music and video effects. And what I do love is that TikTokers, they take trends, they put their own spin on them, and the linked music and the hashtags are kind of the common thread pulling everything together.
