Museum 2.0

APRIL 25, 2011

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

The book looks at how ICT can help solve global poverty issues in a range of fields, including disaster relief, health education, micro finance, and education.

Your friend who tells fascinating, colorful stories may not be the person you turn to for the straight dope. Museums aren't the only venues facing this question: news outlets, corporate brands, and educators are also grappling with the question of trust in the participatory age. You can't be equally committed to both. Be personal.

The objects were interesting, the stories surprising. The objects in both museums were varied, and the display techniques incorporated movement, varied sight lines, juxtaposition, and humor to keep us intrigued and engaged. That work showed in the human voices and stories throughout the museum.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements. So many museum exhibitions relegate the participatory bits in at the end.

This technique was used in the Slavery in New York exhibition at the New-York Historical Society and continues in the popular StoryCorps project. The story capture experience averaged ten minutes, with visitors being given four minutes to respond to each personal, relatively imprecise question about how the exhibition affected the them.

It's not the extent to which they are participatory. But that's only part of the story. Small museums, which are most likely to cultivate local, distinctive voice and approaches, often have an inferiority complex. But when I really think about it, all my favorites (so far) have one thing in common.

Visitor Co-Created Museum Experiences This session was a dream for me, one that brought together instigators of three participatory exhibit projects: MN150 (Kate Roberts), Click! So far, most participatory museum design projects are heavily guided by the institution. MN150 will have formal summative evaulation, which is wonderful.

This is a long post focused on strategic uses of listening rather than specific techniques. For many museums, visitor research--how people use the museum, navigate exhibits, and understand content--may be an equally important arena in which to adopt groundswell listening techniques. What does it mean to listen to the groundswell?

This post tells my (weird) story. My story is about radical educational philosophy. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design. Why are we training future leaders of alternative learning using traditional academic techniques and facilities? Why do you care about and or work in museums?
