Museum 2.0

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process. Our previous big exhibition, All You Need is Love, was highly participatory for visitors but minimally participatory in the development process. Without further ado, here's what we did to make the exhibition participatory.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum. As the participatory content review progressed well, I started looking for other ways for people to help.

This week, we're covering the first objective in Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's book Groundswell : listening (chapter 5). Surveys, interviews, tracking studies, and exhibit evaluations are often isolated events, and the information gleaned is specific to particular projects. What does it mean to listen to the groundswell?

The convenors set up a lovely wiki and gave us specific instructions to answer research questions posed on a series of pages. The participatory "ask" is high--to create original content. Wikis are great for documenting events with many parallel content tracks. On March 22, they released the wiki. over email.
