Museum 2.0

OCTOBER 15, 2009

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences.

While these participants had done the hard work of capturing the images, it was up to the institutions to validate, tag, caption, and prepare them for Wikipedia's use.

They're now running a compelling experiment in crowd-sourced exhibition creation and curation via the photography exhibition Click. 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. Tags: exhibition web2.0 Projects.
