Among other things, I led a workshop on "social objects" --artifacts and exhibits that inspire people to point, discuss, snap photos, and generally share their experience both with friends and strangers. If an artwork or exhibit is easily emulatable, people will pose like the subjects of the piece and take photos with it.

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). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

So having a few brainstorming facilitation techniques to use with your team, is useful. That’s a fancy name for your “pantry” or your sources – like photos, existing reports, or videos. What tools, techniques, or work flows work for you? It starts with ideas and brainstorming.

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. Photos are fun. That was really hard-won.

I was thrilled to work with the Brainerd Foundation staff to help design and facilitate a design lab using techniques based on Luma Institute methods earlier this month. In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. We finished with a group photo and fun co-creation reflection.

Recently, I was giving a presentation about participatory techniques at an art museum, when a staff member raised her hand and asked, "Did you have to look really hard to find examples from art museums? Aren't art museums less open to participation than other kinds of museums?" I was surprised by her question.
