What does motivation look like in a future, political participatory culture? How will voters be motivated to vote and comprehend issues?

working with my first project and the lomography culture
-----
address motivations of this culture:
• defining personal identity by being a part of a subculture
• desire to create collaborative lomographic representation of the world
• exploration, play, balance of choice and chance
• collaboration with other lomographers
• learning from others
• being inspired by others to try new techniques

(alberto - do you have anything to add? as you are familiar with this subculture too)

More Questions:
• What motivates interaction with a particular object, community, event?
• Are there levels of motivation (as it relates to an individual, community)?
• What obstacles inhibit motivation? (time, tools, knowledge?)
• What charges motivation?
• Does motivation lead to participation in various activities, if your participating in one, are you more likely to participate in several?

My JPG Project 1:
These are my questions relating to JPG and motivation.

• Does the difference in design and content of the magazine influence more people to participate
(comparing mine with the original)?

• What motivates the community of JPG to vote on other individuals photos?

• Would inclusion of the photos "back stories" increase the motivation to participate?

• What causes individuals to not participate in this culture? (like myself?) (what would others say?)

• How much time do we participate in something online? In a given day? How much time do we participate in something in RL? What correlations can we draw on motivation from this discussion?
