Otto Neurath and participatory forms of democratic exchange

This exhibition After Neurath: The Global Polis caught my eye:
“Otto Neurath (1882-1945) is a long-neglected giant in the history of the Information Age. He was a philosopher who despised academic philosophy, a museum director who hated conventional museums and a city planner who was critical of the city. He was especially eager to promote participatory forms of democratic exchange [emphasis added] (he wanted to create a ‘global polis’). The exhibition ‘After Neurath: The Global Polis’ looks at how he attempted to do so in disciplines as varied as architecture, urbanism, graphic design and planning.:

Very glad to discover this site. I’m very interested in evolving to participatory democracy… e.g. http://weneedadream.org
