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. Unlike people with paid positions, you will have the opportunity to focus entirely on creating a killer project. Please help us.

Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off. I wish I had time to watch all the videos and code them for their content and style, but I don't (graduate research project, anyone?). Music videos. Projects. Old Spice parodies.

Last week, I gave a talk about participatory museum practice for a group of university students at UCSC. Teenagers are often the target for participatory endeavors, and they definitely have high interest in creative expression, personalizing museum experiences, and using interactive or technological tools as part of their visit.

Toward the end, a young man, who worked with urban kids of color on media and music, commented that he didn’t really know how to get access to the kinds of things available, and he noticed how few people of color were in the room.

Many fabulous participatory projects--like the Johnny Cash Project or the Art Gallery of Ontario's " In Your Face "--don't require language. This certainly could work well in an art museum, where visitors can make art, or science museums, where they could participate in citizen science projects, without sharing a language.

You can write a vision for yourself, your organization, your project, or your team. It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. These included ideas like "musical chairs job shadowing," "foot massage conference-call room," and "more meetings in public settings."

Side Trip is an immersive environment full of interactive experiences that let visitors share their own stories of the 1960s, make their own rock posters, and explore the music and vibe of the time. A large wall featured a slowly undulating, multi-colored projection passing by, like the visual aftermath of an accident in a lava lamp factory.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? The Machine Project and the Hammer Museum have just released an incredible ebook documenting Machine's year-long residency at the Hammer in 2010. And the projects themselves are brilliant.
