Who is this mysterious and desirable community with whom museums wish to connect?

But the simplest evidence I have for the statement that design impacts visitor contributions comes from a formative evaluation performed at LACMALab for their nano exhibition in 2004. In the report, evaluator Marianna Adams described a simple experiment in visitor response. LACMALab took one question--"What connections do you see between art and science?"--and created two ways for visitors to respond. In March, visitors were offered white 4"x6" notecards and golf pencils. In April, these were replaced with blue hexagonal cards and full-size pencils.

Four C's to build a community content context connection comment

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.

Das ist spannend, weil die Initiative des Instituts of Museum and Liebrary Services, US) sowohl Fallbeispiele integriert als auch ein Dokument publiziert hat zum Thema "21st century skills". Ausserdem wurde ein "self assesment-tool" entworfen. "The tool allows museums and libraries to determine where they fit on the continuum of 21st century skills operations and programming." Und die Seite des Instituts sammelt News und Veranstaltungen zum Thema.

Gut gefällt mir daran, dass hier eben nicht Web2.0-Ziele im Vordergrund stehen, sondern übergeordnete Ziele mit Hilfe dieser Tools erreicht werden können. Vom Ansatz und Grundverständnis her sehr hilfreich.

Where Do We Go From Here? Continuing with Web 2.0 at the Brooklyn Museum "As we moved forward with Web 2.0 and social media in 2007, we had two objectives in mind while overhauling earlier initiatives and creating new projects for visitors: * Keep it real: We aimed to personalize content as much as possible, since Web 2.0 for the Brooklyn Museum is all about social connections and growing communities. * Deliver content their way: Museum surveys have shown that visitors want to consume more information in shorter visits. Hence, we wanted to allow our audiences to easily receive information from the Museum, and dynamically share it with others. We continued to focus on our community-oriented, visitor-centered mission, and these goals became paramount as we thought about (and adjusted) our early initiatives; they also served as philosophical barometers when we created new projects.

audience+ Roundtable: Interview mit Henner Fehr

I read with interest this week an article by Ruth Jamieson in The Guardian extolling the virtues of Twitter for us visual arts types. It largely confirmed what I've known for nearly a year now: Twitter is a great way to stay virtually connected with friends and professional contacts. It's fast, painless and has a Zen-like 140-character limit that disallows users from overwhelming other users with lengthy monologues.

Kostenlose Angebote hat es immer wieder mal gegeben, warum funktioniert gerade das Modell der Kulturloge  so gut? Die Evaluierung nennt zwei Erfolgsfaktoren: da ist zum einen die persönliche Ansprache über die sozialen Partnerorganisationen und die telefonische Kontaktaufnahme der MitarbeiterInnen der Kulturloge. Da die Partnerorganisationen um die Bedürftigkeit der einzelnen Menschen wissen, müssen diese später nicht irgendwelche Nachweise vorlegen, sondern sind bei der jeweiligen Veranstaltung Gäste unter Gästen. Zweitens haben die Gäste der Kulturloge die Möglichkeit, einen weiteren Gast ihrer Wahl mitzunehmen, ein Angebot, das als sehr wichtig eingestuft wird und ein Beleg dafür ist, dass im Kunst- und Kulturbereich der Kontakt und die Kommunikation zu anderen Menschen eine sehr hohe Bedeutung hat. Die Ergebnisse dieser Befragung zeigen, dass das Modell der Kulturloge (entwickelt von Christine Krauskopf, die diesen Ansatz erstmals in der Marburger Kulturloge umgesetzt hat) sehr gut angenommen wird und es damit gelingt, auch kultur- und bildungsferne Millieus für Kunst und Kultur zu gewinnen. „Die Kulturloge stellt somit ein Instrument des Audience Development dar",
