When curating, it is important for the programmer to think about the audience and consider what kind of experience the audience will have. Will the audience be a viewer, a participant, somewhere in between? And what role do you take as the programmer- are you a guide, an essayist, a facilitator, a participant? Pay special attention to how you present the curation and in what order you present the elements.
Curate 2 multi-media experiences. Your curation should contain the following 5-6 elements:
- an online (short) video
- an audio element
- an image
- some kind of writing (excerpts are fine)
- hyperlinks to another other websites etc
- your choice/can repeat from above).
Experience ONE: You may curate around a theme, a topic, an idea, an aesthetic, a genre,whatever you want...it is up to you, but curate in a way that we, the audience, can tell.
Experience TWO: Curate another experience, but make the experience site specific (either describe or take a picture of this site). Consider how site specific curation changes the curational approach.
Present the experiences as a blog post on this website and at the end of each experiences write a brief curaters statement about your intention (1-2 short paragraphs max) and choices.
