Co-Curation, Participation & Audience Engagement Techniques

Co-curation, Participation & Engagement Projects

What is engagement?

“’engagement’ . . . is characterized by mutual learning by publics and scientists—and, in some cases, policy makers. This orientation contrasts with a one-way transmission of knowledge from “experts” to publics.”

(“Many Experts, Many Audiences” 2009: 12)

To act “reciprocally, to act on each other, to act together or toward others or with others”

(Roussou 2008: 248)

(Animating Democracy: http://animatingdemocracy.org/social-impact-indicators)

“. . . they are simultaneously members of an audience (cultural consumers) and performers (cultural producers)”

(Styliano-Lambert 2010: 135)

“Visitors”“Audiences” “Users” “Participants”

“How can cultural institutions reconnect with the public and demonstrate their value and relevance in contemporary life? I believe they can do this by inviting people to actively engage as cultural participants, not passive consumers.”

(Simon 2009: i)

• Who? – General public, online followers, members, enthusiasts

• What sorts of institutions? – City Museums, Community Museums, Art Museums/Galleries, Science

Museums• Pros

– Vast numbers of people get involved, creates a buzz around exhibits/projects, unknown artists or underfunded causes get public support or recognition, encourages social interaction and dialogue

• Cons – Quantity over quality of experience or input, shallow interaction without

longevity • Influenced by:

– Tagging, Twitter hashtags, American Idol & voting

Brooklyn Museum

Brooklyn-based artists were asked to open their studios to the community on September 8–9, 2012. More than 1800 artists participated. Community members registered as voters visited studios and, after checking–in to at least 5 studios via text messaging and a free app, were able to go online to nominate artists for inclusion in a group exhibition to open at the Brooklyn Museum on Target First Saturday, December 1, 2012. The project received 9,457 nominations.

The website features a share site where site visitors can share their stories or search stories by neighborhood, tags, or media.

“What would you put in your national history museum? What stories would you tell? How would you reach Canadians across the country? Click on any image below for a fun activity to build your history museum.”

Go(Art Museum)

GO broadened our curatorial process by inviting input from the community, and we saw and heard from both artists and voters alike that it enhanced their experience on the open studio weekend and heightened their engagement levels. There's value in bringing that perspective into the museum, and putting it in conversation with our curatorial choices.

ArtPrize, the grandaddy of visitor voting, just completed its fourth year in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This citywide festival showcased work by 1,517 artists competing for a $200,000 top cash prize awarded by public vote. An estimated 400,000 people attended the event over two weeks, of which 47,000 cast at least one vote. Voters had to register to vote, but there were no restrictions on how many artworks a voter could "like."

Social Tagging(Art Museum)

Social Tagging, or a folksonomy, is a user-generated taxonomy used to categorize and retrieve web content, such as Web pages, photographs, and Web links, using open-ended labels called tags. The Philadelphia Museum of Art now offers online visitors the ability to "tag" objects in the online collection in an attempt to improve access to these works of art for themselves and others.

ec(h)o is an "augmented reality interface” using spatially sensitized soundscapes. The initial prototype was designed out of Simon Fraser University for Nature Museum in Ottawa. The interface augments an existing physical environment with a virtual audio environment, and enables people to interact with the system without directly using a computer device and instead using an integrated audio, vision and location tracking system installed within an existing exhibition installation. The visitor experiences a virtual layer of 3D soundscapes that are physically mapped to the museum displays. Each scape is made up of zones of ambient sound and "soundmarks" generated by audio data related to the artifacts the visitor is experiencing.

The TUNE Project

The Steampunk-inspired objects in the ‘Reading Glove’ become artifacts of ‘movable heritage’ in a socially-enacted, narrative experience. It consists of a horizontal interactive board, a number of objects, each with their own unique digital capabilities, and an RFID activated glove worn by participants. When a participant picks up an object, an audio recording is cued that explains the object’s properties. As a group, participants must complete a series of tasks throughout the museum and then return the objects to the table.

“Field notes in a subliminal world, the Diaries record active tectonic traces of a geologic diary within the shifting terrain of human remembrance and amnesia.”

“The future of locative media lies in applications of ever-increasing variation fed by many kinds of data and generating narrative of any area where strutters may be read—the city, the subterranean, and the wild itself”

The Carrizo Parkfield Diaries is an art installation that used seismic data to generate the sequencing of narrative elements, so that historical, social, and scientific data can all be woven into the fabric of locative narrative. Drawing from live, micro-seismic measurements of peak ground velocity, peak ground acceleration and spectral response, the diaries compiled hourly updates into number sequences that, in turn, 'crashed' into an “archived seismic database” from a recent quake by triggering Flash movies featuring visual media, text and sound.

The Hunt Museum

‘Re-tracing the Past’ was created in the Hunt Museum in Limerick Ireland (however only ran for ten days). The museum is a collector’s house with eclectic rooms and artifacts, that, for this project were each given RFID tags. Each visitor was given a keycard which also contained a RFID tag that allowed them to activate, explore or de-activate each installation in any order. In one area, “the radio”, visitors could “tune in” to channels for each object made by docents or other visitors. Visitors could also record their own opinion by dropping their keycard into a slot speaking into a phone; the recording then became part of the collection of opinions available on the radio.

This “sociotechnical architecture” allows local community visitors to 1) use a “sound camera” (GPS enabled PDA) to record sounds in the local environment and map their own soundscape experiences, 2) load sound snapshots online, engaging with personal memory & “objective reality” and 3)become part of public sessions where community members create soundscapes via interactive tables with mapping overlays. Together, these modes allow individual exploration & expression, encourage affective & memorable experience, and encourage community collaboration.

Users can virtually tour partner museums’ galleries, explore physical and contextual information about artworks, compile their own virtual collection, and “curate” collections by annotating, organizing and sharing them (phase 2 includes Google+ technology). The "walk-through" feature of the project uses Google's Street View technology.The platform now features more than 32,000 artworks from 46 museums.

Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum

Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is launching a new site that will ask the public to curate shows, build virtual collections, and circulate favorite digital photos. The Museum has hired San Francisco-based Method, a digital design firm, and MIT’s John Maeda, a museum trustee, to help design and implement the program. Deputy curatorial director Matilda McQuaid will direct the site’s content.

Teylers Museum

The Teylers Museum runs a website, built using the social networking tool NING, which brings invites anyone to participate by joining this mini social network of curators, associates and friends of the museum. Using NING as a platform gives the public the opportunity to participate not only by commenting on content added to the website by the museum, but also by starting their own conversations and sharing their own perspective on the museum.

Behind the Scenes of the Teyler Museum(Art Museum)

http://teylersmuseum.ning.com/

We started to use NING to give all Teylerfans and our staff the opportunity to leave pictures and messages about the museum . . . We like the idea of having both a traditional museum website and something which is more open. A blog, a photo-album where every member of staff has more freedom. On our NING website it doesn’t matter that the picture is not crystal clear or that the movie is amateurish . . . The rule is to not spend a lot of time but share a lot of knowledge about the museum or the collections

Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute

Clark Remix is an online exhibition that immerses you in Clark’s virtual permanent collection gallery of more than 80 paintings, 20 sculptures, and 300 decorative arts objects. The exhibition has physical and digital components. In-gallery there is a salon-inspired installation and online there are two digital applications, uExplore, which gives the visitor access to audio, texts and images, & uCurate, which invites visitors to create their own "curatorial remix" by selecting a group of objects, designing an installation and sharing online. After reviewing nearly 1,000 submissions submitted through the uCurate program, the Clark's curatorial team chose 11-year-old Giselle Ciulla as its first uCurate guest curator.

Smithsonian Travelling Exhibition Service

As part of this national travelling exhibition (October 2012-October 2014), SI teamed up with Guide One to create two apps that asks the public to interpret Homer’s Odyssey.

“Users” can remix their own Odyssey collage while learning about key themes. The remix app allows for mixed media, including pre-loaded shapes, objects, and colors, text, music & sounds, and photographs taken by the user.

Once users have created a remix, they can post it to:

Q?RIUS aims to be a participatory space with associated online components. It will hold thousands of open-stored objects for hands-on activities. Registered users will save activities to their digital fieldbooks, and earn stars toward badges activated online. Badges will act as certifications of learning achieved through motivated, game-like interactions.

Online participants will be able to ‘curate’ objects into categories and add to their field notebooks. The online site will also include teacher resources for distance learning opportunities. Q?RIUS will also be an experiment in ‘ubiquitous engagement’; the hall will be filled with outgoing docents equipped with ipads to do demonstrations, direct visitors, assist in activities and promote dialogue. Upstairs will also feature a science café for casual art-science workshops.

The DMA is introducing free admissions and membership, but members will be called “DMA Friends” — and they can earn rewards (for instance free parking or special event access) for doing things like ‘liking’ the DMA on Facebook. The museum has installed iPad kiosks to register and obtain a membership card with a barcode the system will recognize. Members can also login remotely from home or phone. The system tracks member activities in gallery or online, including visiting certain halls or scanning artworks and texting DMA comments, all of which earns the member more points. Some points are open-ended (you can move up in membership grades) and others are timed or numbered for specific events/programs.

In the installation "Reminisce"- designed for an Irish open-air museum, Bunratty Folk Park - participants could follow in the footsteps of characters from Ireland’s past, collecting “tokens” related to character’s lives in physical and digital forms. These included audio recordings of personal memories downloaded to a smart phone application, and physical tokens such as traditional recipes, “chunks of turf”, “hanks of wool”, etc. The physical tokens provided visitors with a tangible representation of their progress and physical "anchoring" to the houses and were also "keys" to unlocking additional digital content at a specific site using RFID tags.

A free, real-world treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online. At each cache site players find a logbook or logsheet to log their find. Large caches can contain a logbook plus any number of items. At some sites, players can find a “trackable” or “game piece” that is etched with a unique code used to log its movements on Geocaching.com as it travels in the real world. The site now boasts a 2 million cache countdown worldwide.

Canadian Museum of Civilization

My History Museum - the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Canadian War Museum invite the public to make 'their' history museum online in preparation for a new exhibition gallery opening in 2017. Online guests as well as participants in nine visited cities can determine their mission for the public, pick an exhibition perspective, highlight the pieces of history they find most important, and choose objects to create an image of 'their' Canada.

Guests are encouraged to explain their choices on an open forum, where other 'museum-makers' can respond and take part.

Morrison County Historical Museum

At the Morrison Country History Museum, community members are invited to write essays about “what’s it like” to have various life experiences in Morrison County. Rather than collecting oral histories, the museum solicited short, focused essays (“mini memoirs”):e.g. “To be a Catholic”, “To be a Shoe-shine Boy” . The essays are posted on a blog and added to the collections of the Morrison County Historical Society. A few essays were chosen as themes for exhibits.

“Now you have to understand that the trestle was not like the one that spans the river today; it was old, wooden, narrow, and high above the river. It was a single track wide and it had a narrow catwalk on the south side, with a wooden railing to keep us from plunging to certain death in the river below” -S.W.

Galaxy Zoo asks the public to work through images taken by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Hubble Space Telescope. Within 24 hours of launch they were “stunned” by the some 70,000 classifications they received an hour. More than 50 million classifications were received during the first year of the project from more than 150,000 people. Having multiple independent classifications of the same object is important, as it allows us to assess how reliable our results are.

The National Maritime Museum invites active Flickr members to curate photographic display. Members go behind the scenes with researchers at the museum to explore the Museum’s Commons sets, delve into the historic photograph collection, and meet with Museum staff about developing exhibitions. The groups whittle down huge numbers of photographs to a final eight for the show. A further hundred digital images are shown alongside the prints which reflect more closely individual participants’ personal routes of exploration through the collection – the images are also accompanied by tag clouds to capture the individual responses to the images.
