Let's discuss CURATION. I have been spending a lot of time recently thinking about the best way to organize and share my art collection. It consists of 4670 unique artworks (3000 on Base, 1100 on Tezos, 540 on Eth Mainnet, and 30 on Solana). I want to work with the community to curate it. I'd love to see curated themes. I'd love to see pairings and groupings that I have never envisioned. What ideas do you have for the best way to approach this monumental task? Who has done this well before? How did they approach it? Hoping to kick off an incredible conversation about curation. Who comes to mind when you think of the best curators of photography, AI, gen-art, illustration, animation, glitch, and 3-D? What other mediums am I missing?

Firstly, thanks for bringing this discussion here. Secondly, let me congratulate you on an amazing collection. It shows how much you love onchain art regardless of where its at. It's why I look to you for inspiration in this growing sector. Thirdly,, I've long thought we focus too much on building art creation and collection tools. The space is saturated with them. However, curation is often neglected. Perhaps that's the role of social platforms like Farcaster? There is a growing number of individuals like yourself who transform the work of others with your own narratives. For example, your nightly Rodeo casts connect disparate works into one shared story through the lens of the 9x9 frame and your commentary. Channels are also playing a larger role in content curation. /itookaphoto /base-builds are great examples of channels that are creating a larger narrative by which to bring together diverse art and artists. I am betting on this to continue to grow. And positioning CryptoSapiens in this space too.

I completely agree with you that curation is highly neglected. There has been so much emphasis on sales and accumulation, but less energy has been spent on appreciating all the artwork that has been collected. I'd love to discuss the best options available and explore new possibilities for taking this to the next level. I want to utilize all of the expertise, talent, and resources on Farcaster to make this happen. There is no better place I can think of than here. This is a great place for Cryptosapiens to position itself, as curation has a very long and exciting runway ahead. The journey of art from a wallet to being displayed is not a straight line.

🙌 for the astute comments and for @zachlipp bringing this up. Because of my long history slicing and dicing metadata, the first thing that comes to my mind is taking the “topics” idea @zachlipp mentioned and finding a way to tag your artwork with a Topic. Curation is a lot easier if you have to way to sort content. Some examples : Artist, Title, Topic/Subject/, With NFTs, you almost always have: Artist, Creation dates, Title, but rarely Topic or genre We could create a structured vocabulary that could eventually be searchable and used as a tool for curation. Schema.org reads structured data
