@MattressFactory Its an issue keeping the people who work in museums at the centre of museums- @MattressFactory and if they submit to the forces of the superabundance, they will just sink.
- @newcurator so then it's an issue of accessibility?
- @MattressFactory Museums have too much responsibility in making very certain what culture becomes heritage...
- @MattressFactory Because museums don't fit a "mass-media" model despite having almost mass-media-level of information.
- @newcurator but your post is right-on about the democratizing of media & culture. why would the role of curator be excluded in that?
- @MattressFactory Kinda like when bloggers started calling themselves journalists. I'm sure its a sign of a downturn.
- @MattressFactory For instance, I am not a psychiatrist because I talk to my friends about their problems
- @newcurator no, i meant the larger issue in your full post -- the shift in meaning to the "popular" definition of the word curator.
- @MattressFactory I would say its more a question of people using a term they don't understand to make actions more important
- @MattressFactory I said that misrepresenting the role of a curator cheapens the work, not participation.
- @newcurator kinda seems like an issue of semantics, no?
