The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers. Most social objects that mediate conversation among strangers are incidental. I’ll produce a report that will be shared here on the Museum 2.0 This is something I am obsessively curious about.

And this week, I had an aha moment about a designed listening technique: conversations with computers. The fabulous Storycorps project partially sidesteps these problems by requiring participants to bring their own conversation partner to the booths in which they record life stories.

At the best parties, each guest feels like his contributions to the conversation are desired, and everyone feels complicit in creating a wonderful social experience.
