I’m so excited to see a Mobile Tech 4 Change event coming to London - but super disappointed I can’t be here to participate (I’ll be at N2Y4 Mobile Challenge Conference in San Jose). Participatory and interactive. Tags: events event london m4change mobile. Katrin Verclas, MobileActive.org. Participants.

I was captivated by Chris Alexander 's story about participatory online/onsite efforts at the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA). After all, as naysayers of participatory design often remind me, the museum is not a popularity contest. Tags: exhibition marketing Museums Engaging in 2.0 Projects.

An academic-community partnership, the project brings together immigrant day laborers, scholars, software developers, and community organizers for participatory design, curriculum development, evaluation and research around this emerging media tool and its social impact. There were many excellent ideas (check out the Project Gallery !)

It doesn't matter if you are creating a didactic diorama or a participatory smorgasborg if the experience is fundamentally about your desires rather than visitors'.

This session was participatory in several ways, including interactive music-making machines in the audience and half the time reserved for Q&A. A few things I learned from the presentations and discussion: Dan shared a useful 4-step mental model for the progression of how institutions move towards participatory engagement.

This exhibition uses RFID tags to allow visitors to save their work throughout the space--something that many institutions have been experimenting with for almost ten years now. The personal webpage has many adherents, and some institutions, like The Tech Museum in San Jose, have been offering them for almost a decade.
