Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 29, 2009

It's my "artistic rendering" of one of the most inspirational participatory projects I know of--the Bibliotheek Haarlem Oost book drops.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad).

Every time someone writes a label, he or she gets a badge (a pin featuring the Ruru mascot owl), a photo taken, and an energetic writeup on the blog. This entire first phase of the project is set up to encourage staff to participate and reward them for doing so.

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. There are implications of Click that represent more than just photo arrangement. They kept the interface simple. There's a reason they call it "capturing" data.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum.
