In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. While the content of any one meeting wasn't mind-blowing, the fact that we're now sufficiently technology-mediated that these kinds of informal, spontaneous events can happen is really exciting.

Today, I wanted to think about participatory elements, something so essential to this blog. With this in mind, when we produce participatory experiences, while our impetus is to serve our power users with extra content or “check for understanding” interactives, there are so many other ways to use interactives.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. Now, as a freelancer, my work combines long-term, creatively challenging participatory exhibit projects with lots of little workshops and brainstorming sessions with institutions around the world. You have to tell them what you want.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”.

In Chapter 3, McCloud identifies six different methods by which comic artists transition from one panel to another (for example, scene-to-scene or action-to-action). X-Men) and artists. Level 5 is a question mark in my mind. Ideas design participatory museum interactives. How do we get there? How do we sustain it?

A cheerful curly-haired deli owner stands in front of 30 of us and shares a quote he loves: "Artists live in the present and write detailed histories of the future." It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. You'll warm up your hand and get yourself in a positive frame of mind.

I was in two minds as to whether it was ethical to influence our visitors’ commitment towards certain paintings in the exhibition and I’d welcome your comments on this. We are now actively looking at ways to build on this success in all our exhibitions, although it’s a much bigger challenge in touring or artist-curated shows.

Send in your question, and it can be days before the artist or curator responds with an answer. Another recent tester mentioned that the conversation about something specific actually ended in a different gallery as he walked, but that he didn’t mind it.

So we don’t mind when people pivot. So the meeting has become more participatory. As a product, we didn’t have a user and a user’s motivation in mind.
