Curating Serendipity in Online Music Communities
Serendipity happens when we stumble upon an unknown book or album tucked away on the shelves... and it thrills us. In this session, we will use the online music community What.CD as a model for thinking about how to meaningfully curate serendipity. We will also consider how user-curated album collages empower us to discover new artists, share unique cultures and preserve rare musical traditions.
