A Lack of Curation: Lost on the Internet
Continued over from yesterdays theme. I'll once again post the most poignant statements.
A Lack of Curation: Lost on the Internet
"With so many images being created and pushed out into the internet it’s starting to look like the Pacific garbage patch"
"Even if I took out the axe and started pruning the people I follow on Instagram the ads and sponsored images would infiltrate my feed and my feed would look no better."
"Curating your own images to share with others in a clean, clear concise way it’s how photography and storytelling is meant to be, not loaded with clutter. "
" For a while everyone was excited about the democratization of photography. I was too, but after spending an afternoon at the Boston Museum of Fine Art it really hit home that there is a ton of value in having curators and editors keeping the bar high. If the goal is to view and enjoy great images then curation is required. "
"After searching online for an example of a well curated site or magazine it was obvious that advertising slapped randomly inside a feature or presentation is the only model that is used today"
" It appears that we just keep lowering the bar and continue to be more and more comfortable with a flood of mediocre content poorly presented. Do you ever find yourself posting just an “alright” image on your feed just to keep feeding the social media?"
