The entire contents of the museum are made by the public. In addition, Jaime Kopke provides materials and a place for newcomers to make and contribute on the fly. I've blogged about it before... and I'll be collaborating with her on a project this summer.

This is documented in the Visitor Voices book. Recently we have has our first success with this. With our exhibit Graffiti Wall in our Communication exhibition we have posted on our website (www.lsc.org) instructions and information in order to allow you to modify and change the exhibit. Basically the exhibit allows one to try their hand at graffiti using what looks like a spray can but generates a digital form of graffiti. Through a teacher a class of 11th graders took the challenge and produced our first Exhibit Commons products which are totally different ways for the exhibit to operate. I have decided to post what they produced and viewers of Exhibit Files can check it out: If you go to the following address: http://www.youtube.com/user/wlabar you will find 3 videos 1 Graffiti Wall ops: small video showing you how the exhibits works normally. 2 and 3. Sam and Wendy videos, here are submittals from visitors for changing the exhibition. We are about to put these experience on the floor as exhibits. We are doing some graphics to help explain what they are. Would love to hear people's thoughts about this and other work people have done. Cheers! Wayne Kathy
