Things have been pretty busy the last several months with installations at Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, ECHO Lake Science Center, Levine Museum of the New South, Illinois Holocaust Museum, and others in the works. A blessing in this economy. But I've let a lot of thoughts slip by that I wanted to share. Here are a few thoughts -- more detail sometime soon:
- Post visit audience: it may be more effective to design for specific groups (after school groups, moms clubs, etc) than generalized visitors. Need to tap into pre-motivated learners.
- What's after Web 2.0? Now that social media has arrived, what's next? We need to provide visitors a big picture mission (solving some local community issue) that raises the level of communication.
- iPhone: the power of place. If we're looking to change visitor behavior, we need to be in the right place at the right time. iPhone apps have potential to do that.
- YouTube stories: the emerging trend of including visitor voices on museum YouTube channels
