THREE SURPRISING THINGS

I’VE LEARNED ABOUT

DESIGN FOR PARTICIPATION

LESSON 1:MORE SCAFFOLDING! MORE CONSTRAINTS!

Denver Art Museum

Denver Art Museum

90,000 visitors, 37,000 posters made

average time spent making a poster: 25 minutes

GoMA

GoMA

Find someone about your height to help you with this exhibit

GoMA

Find someone about your height to help you with this exhibit Ask a stranger of your gender to do this activity with you

LESSON 2:PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN

GIVEN DIFFERENT PROMPTS & INPUT MECHANISMS.

“The percentage of ‘unrelated’ responses decreased from 58% (white cards) to 40% (blue cards), and ‘specific’ responses nearly doubled, from 28% (white) to 50% (blue).”

LESSON 3:RESPONSIVENESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN

ANYTHING ELSE.

HOW CAN VISITORS MAKE

THIS PROJECT BETTER?

“At first, I wasn't sure whether or not my responses were useful to anybody. It took a long time for any feedback to filter through. When it did come I really appreciated Nina's thanks and encouragement. That's what kept me coming back to the site.”
