“Once you see the boundaries of your environment, they are no longer the boundaries of your environment" - Marshall McLuhan
Taste Community and why curation...
Our situation resembles that of 18th century England. At the eve of a new Industrial Revolution, inundated by foreign products, lacking the central authority of an Elite to dictate and inspire mimesis, we are left wandering in endless store aisles and webpages, wondering how to properly consume.
“I’m not one of those people with their heads in the clouds; I’m one of those whose entire body has been consumed by the clouds.” — Antero Alli
“Imagination is often referred to as a sort of solo activity — authors, artists — but what we’ve found is really key to creativity is that it’s a collective imagination process. It’s the magic of creating together.”
Phoebe Tickell • Cultivating Everyday Imagination
New Media is opinionated about the internet’s infinite scale . It chooses to reject or play with the internet’s scale, opting to be handmade, limited quantity, or geared towards small groups of people who actively choose to receive it. New Media is not something to be fished from a stream, but a sacred pilgrimage one may embark upon.
Yancey Strickler • Formulary for New Media
It doesn’t matter how much we summarize, at some point, effort is required. More summaries won’t automatically lead to more understanding.
Seth Godin • The Cliffs Notes paradox
Edison did not look for problems in need of solutions; he looked for solutions in need of modification.
