In this lecture, Justin Wolff reviews the history of curating from ancient times to the digital present. He distinguishes the act of curating from the mere aggregation found in most social media, arguing that curating implies adding value to works that are presented or collected.
Wolff is Professor of Art History and a faculty member of the Digital Curation graduate program at the University of Maine
