I especially like the idea of the "Secret Room" for recording feedback - we've got a feedback / annotation feature on <a href="http://newmedia.walkerart.org/aoc/" rel="nofollow">Art On Call</a>, but are experiencing similar timidity from users in the galleries. A room like that might be the perfect answer... @Steve P - Thanks for the note, that’s some good stuff on your site… I especially like the idea of the “Secret Room” for recording feedback - we’ve got a feedback / annotation feature on Art On Call, but are experiencing similar timidity from users in the galleries.

Instead of expecting people to download podcasts, in many cases we simply broadcast the results of almost real-time edited input. You could listen to remarks and conversations in the museum cafe, or in a public park every evening, someplace people congregate, adding musical segments to the programming to make it less relentlessly verbal. We got much better results in terms of involvement and discussion from this approach than from the material put on-line. The on-line stuff serves above all as documentation. You can see and hear five projects here: http://www.undo.net/stevepiccolo/index.cgi?action=view&idramo=1151705766 Over the last few years we’ve done several projects like this with different approaches… a museum, a neighborhood, an event, a small city.
