Breakout Session 1 // Highlights from Visual Worship: Environment and Content Curation

by justing on July 28, 2010

Just got to hear @worshipVJ & @visualworshiper, it was a great session and opened up my mind to what one can accomplish with an application I have all-too-often overlooked …PowerPoint. "I get paid professionally to use PowerPoint!" @woshipVJ exclaimed. They then dove into "Curation" and "Context" of creative elements to a service. They opened up ideas of Curation and Content, explaining them: 

CURATION
-The way we use the word "worshiper" or "worship leader" may need some rework or redefinition. 
-Curation implies a wake, & may even lead to a new methodology
-One who curates is a guardian, a caretaker. We in media are the caretakers of our audiences experience.
-Context should be prioritized over Content.
-We must worship/experience WITH, not AT our audience.

 CONTENT
-is REQUIRED.
-all the tech gear in the world means nothing if there's no content.

Workflow should look like this:
Aggregation >leads to> Filtering >leads to> Curating

Aggregation: A habit a lifestyle of pulling together elements.
Filtering: What to use and what NOT to use.
Curating: moving, arranging, and presenting elements in space and time.
