For those folks trekking out to LosAngeles this week for AAM, I hope to run into you at the conference. Hosting a session on Monday at 2pm on Design for Participation with participatory design gurus Kathleen McLean and Dan Spock, along with research extraordinaire Kris Morrissey and participatory art rockstar Mark Allen.
Many of the talks are related to The ParticipatoryMuseum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays. Here's the list for the next two months: April 14-17 - Denver for Museums and the Web conference. April 29 - I'm heading to the Oakland Museum for the preview of its reopening. Both are open to the public.
This year, the American Association of Museums annual conference was in LosAngeles (my hometown). I hosted two sessions, one on design for participation and the other on mission-driven museum technology development. He started with museums as a "place to go"--to see things, consume experiences.
While this post is not about museums, it tells the story of how a performance group developed participatory elements as an integral part of their show. In 1984, we replaced the Dance Contest with a new audience participation segment inspired by the presence of the Olympic Games in LosAngeles: The Greaser Olympics.
I've written before about the difference between participatory processes and products , but this question of frameworks and sensibility is more broadly applicable to community engagement strategies. For example, consider two independent arts organizations in LosAngeles -- Machine Project and The Public School.
