323 - The Art of Curation in an Age of Overload with Bruno Giussani
Curation is far more than an artistic act – it is a political one! It’s what’s to leave in, what to take out, what to filter and what to frame. And through this sense-making assembly, it becomes an invitation: to pay attention, to expand our minds, and to stumble into serendipitous encounters.
And nothing masters this quite like TED. Curator of ideas, and a 20-year shaper of the TED conferences, Bruno Giussani helped make the cultural institution what it is today – he joins me to dissect the art and science of facilitation’s dear cousin, and why now, more than ever, curation is so necessary.
Hear the creative workings of the Ted stage, the evolution of TedX, and why Bruno believes ‘content’ is a wrecking ball to culture. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
Find out about:
- The cultural responsibility of curation in our desensitised age of information
- The polarities of algorithmic filters, and real-life, intimate, theatrical curation
- How to curate engagement with care, while gently bursting the filter bubble
- How the TED stage was built to blend intimacy with visual impact
- The use of music to primes new moods, neutralise tastebuds and signal art as part of the conversation
