This year we’ll focus on tools and methods for participatory culture. One such tool is already being built, and its purpose is to be a sort of mix between an organisational chart, a task manager and a stakeholder mapping tool for those wanting to make a decision in a decentralised organisation or participatory event. It is called Realities, and it will be used to scale participation in governance and infrastructure work for the participatory event The Borderland in 2019. It’s live on a staging server in unfinished form here. Eventually it will share data with other systems used by the Borderland, including a web app called Dreams which we will also develop further in the Particip.io project.
We have a few other projects um the pipes this year. One is a guide to mobile AR development by @jakobskote, detailing how he developed a digital mobile exhibition on hybrid animals for the Swedish Museum of National History.
More will be added. I’m talking to a friend of mine tomorrow about quoting snippets of audio seamlessly in online conversation, and keep getting put in touch with interesting people with ideas slightly outside of what’s marketable.
As Participio progresses, I’d love to host exploratory events where we invite developers with a hunger for experimentation and fun paid projects together with organisations with unconventional challenges and see what we can dream up.
Done!
