ABSTRACT
OrsayCommon is a playful, inventive micro-community that questions public domain, art, and sharing in museums – using events that fuse physical presence and online sharing.
It started as a series of performance-like gatherings inside Orsay museum, directly protesting the ban on photography by collectively and overtly taking and sharing photos.
The first event was decided and set up in just five day, thanks to blogs and social networks.
In term of reach, we observed the classic progression from twitter followers, to blogs, to news website, to our first print article in a major art magazine.
Because online sharing is at the core of OrsayCommon, a pattern emerged: online engagement on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter peaks just before, during and just after the physical events – fueling the growth of the Facebook group that sustain the community on the long term.
