- cwillu 3y agoBecause of limitations on physical space.
- jebarker 3y agoI think curation is inherently valued too.
- hgsgm 3y agoAnd if the full collection is on display, more people can curate
- s0rce 3y agoDoesn't curation imply the full collection is not on display? I guess it depends on the definition you use.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoIn the digital preservation world, a 'display' is just a playlist on YouTube or a webpage surrounding specific recordings with extra information. In this context, it is certainly plausible to have several distinct 'curations' of the same artefacts being shown simultaneously.
- edgyquant 3y agoDon’t think you’re understanding what curate means in this context
- Dylan16807 3y agoWith a TV show, I would expect the curation to involve exhibits about it. Summaries, context, interviews, etc. The actual episodes should be easy to access and not in cold storage.
- jebarker 3y agoIn the TV show case I think curation means highlighting notable content and grouping together similar content (for various definitions of similar). I suppose the algorithms attempt to do this but are generally bad compared to human curation. I agree that it makes no sense to have all content available underneath this curation though.
