By Jeff Ramos, Community and Content Manager, Games for Change When most people outside gaming think of video games, they typically fall into three buckets: "old school" games like Super Mario and Tetris, social and mobile games like Farmville and Angry Birds, or hyper-violent console games like Grand Theft Auto.

In this post, George grapples with the challenges of balancing the care for a museum collection with that of contemporary artists-in-residence who are constantly reinterpreting it. Every Saturday, the curatorial team at Elsewhere , a living museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, reviews the project proposals of its artists-in-residence.

He is an authoritative artist of the social web with a slew of accolades and a suite of diverse projects under his belt.

You could spend a day getting lost in the meaty, thoughtful writing and videos on the Our Museum site. Most participatory projects were short-term, siloed innovations, not institutional transformations. As this video points out, critics make you swear. I recommend starting with the final report, No Longer Us and Them.

Engagement with local artists. One of the things we love about exhibiting local artists is that they are often here to talk with visitors about their work. It's not unusual to see an artist showing a visitor how she constructed something or created an effect. We do have friendly gallery hosts, but not every hour of the day.

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?

I eagerly read about a new social psychology research study in which whites, Asians, and Latinos engaged in a simple collaborative activity--making a music video together. When the music video was not focused on Mexican culture, no such change occurred. But each of these studies yields another useful nugget. Direct questioning.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. I learned about game design, theme park design, video production, script-writing, show programming, and air compressors, working with cranks and fire marshals and brilliant folks of all kinds. It was exhausting, stressful work, and I loved it.

The core insight was that video game streamers wanted streaming video games to be their job.
