7 Conclusion
7.2 Future Work
The research for this thesis concluded with the design and evaluation of a prototype of an interactive sound-installation. However, the project that this thesis reports from did not end at that point. At the time of writing, articles reporting from the PD project were being written, and ideas to further develop the app to better fit with a learning programme were discussed. Furthermore, some of the workshop participants had continued their engagement with the museum and taken on summer jobs as museum guides. Not least, the prototype had been refined and implemented as part of the FOLK exhibition at NTM. It had subsequently been
moved away from the foyer, closer to the exhibition and more than a thousand soundscapes had been produced and shared by visitors. This opens up several possibilities for further research on the outcome of the design process. Allegedly, very few PD projects are in the position to take this step beyond “project time” and evaluate real use situations (Bratteteig & Wagner, 2016, p. 142). In this regard, it could be fruitful to evaluate the artefact in use: How does the audience appropriate the activity? What interpretations happen in use and how do visitors connect the activity with the exhibition topic? Besides, it could be interesting to evaluate further how the PD process itself affected the participants and their relationship to
museums and whether it influenced practices of the institution itself towards more user involvement in exhibition development.
Another possibility for future work is to investigate how this project could contribute insight on the application of PD in museums. This thesis has only looked at the surface of how the PD process unfolded. The research data that was collected for the project can probably give valued insight into questions of power relations, democratic practices and mutual learning when doing PD with young people in museums.
