from a post at mobylives: "At The Millions Lydia Kiesling has written an article that expresses displeasure with the current cultural fondness for acts of curation." in this, the age of the internet, curation isn't just hip, it's ubiquitous. we could have told you so last year. (and we did.) anyone can make a playlist, but it takes some skill to actually spin records. the blog post at moby lives uses books and authorship as the subjects of its argument, but the points of there being the good and the bad and of the inevitable ubiquity of the act are the same regardless of medium or form. curatorial instinct isn't new and isn't going anywhere, but digital technology certainly has made the production of more and shoddier works of curating much easier. really though, the most annoying aspect of the issue is the buzzword (and all of its conjugations). and they're obviously not going anywhere either.
what's next? inline skating. no joke. mark our words.
