In 2005, at the Les Blogs conference in Paris, there was a flap about the backchannel because the conversation crossed a line. . At this conference in 2005, the backchannel was projected on the screen behind the speaker.

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.

Art, however, does not come to museums pre-hardened. At the museum of art and history where I work, we are grappling with the question of how to help people enjoy themselves while keeping the art and artifacts safe. The level of touching, especially of art, has increased. This was amazing. How will we deal with this?

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. Interestingly--for good and ill--this transformative funding program coincided with a national funding crisis in the arts in the UK.

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling.

I hope this is helpful for someone.
