Enhanced Digital Curation Commentary
I think that the digitalizing of humanities changes people’s focus on the question of “what can we see” to “how can we see”, and inevitably the role of curators change as well. Their job is more focused on how to organize, choose, and present information creatively and to give “the exhibition” particular meanings that allow viewers to think and reflect on. The idea of creating a narrative out of the exhibits makes the museum more than a massive collection of individual objects. Together, they showcase something more powerful and attractive, something that viewers are more likely to pay attention to in the sea of information.
