The Power of Human Assisted Curation
The importance of curation The word curation has been said to have its roots in the Roman age – curatores were civil servants in charge of bringing aqueducts, bathhouses and sewers to the Empire. In the time between, its English etymology has evolved, but the idea of selecting and organising stuff, for the benefit of others, has relevance throughout our personal lives –whether that is someone selecting artefacts for an exhibition in a museum or a DJ finalising their set list.
