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?

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.

Many fabulous participatory projects--like the Johnny Cash Project or the Art Gallery of Ontario's " In Your Face "--don't require language. You could even get creative with documentation--photos instead of text, music instead of words--but it's limiting. People could also caption each other's videos, but that's more intensive.

When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. This post discusses participatory gifting in three parts: the why, the what, and finally, the how.

In many cases, once the final project is launched, it's hard to detect the participatory touch. There might be a plaque listing names or a group photo of participants, but that's about it.
