Curation
Curiosity creates the inquiry.
Knowledge populates the options.
Curation filters the right ones through.
Judgment makes the final call.
When knowledge becomes abundant, value migrates to the functions that exist upstream and downstream from it: framing the inquiry and acting on the output.

Sangeet Paul Choudary • Humans as 'luxury goods' in the age of AI
Over the past year, working on a book on curation, I have interviewed more than 30 curators—art and conference curators, creative directors, Instagram influencers, radio hosts, coders, and genetic engineers—and all agreed that saying no is at the core of the curatorial ethos . Saying no defines what matters.
Can We Still Curate This World?
Music is infinitely accessible and practically free. What we've actually lost is the curator. Someone we can trust to show us the beautiful imperfections again.
Because Rolling Stone Told Me To
the real distinction is active curation versus algorithmic passivity.
Those who maintain curated RSS feeds, follow specific critics, actively seek content rather than accept recommendations—they occupy a different position in the status hierarchy than those who let the algorithm feed them.

Martina López • Economía de la Curación: Autoridad en la Era del Exceso
one thing I saw growing up in South London in the 1980s as supermarkets deployed was that small food shops tended to disappear, and then re-appear in new incarnations, providing service, curation and selection that supermarkets themselves couldn't match, for people willing to search them out and of course pay the premium, and where there was the...
