JUNE 10, 2010

Many of the talks are related to The Participatory Museum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays. I'm giving a free talk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on the evening of the 22nd, and then a free workshop on the 23rd at the National Postal Museum on designing better mechanisms for visitor feedback and response.
