Centre for the Study of the Networked Image
Curation as a term and a practice has spread beyond it traditional meaning as an activity of specialist and expert cultural knowledge. Curation is now an activity of commodity marketing as well as a personal activity of network users: the possibilities of automated curating software and presentation forms in various hardware are thriving. By bringing together ideas around on- and offline curating, we want to analyse the practice and politics of curation, at a time when the systems of curation are increasingly reconfigured. Such analysis allows new formations of power and control to be conceptualised and new contradictions or developments to be revealed, which in turn may lead to an expanded understanding of curation as a practice.
