Curation will grow massively in the coming years. We’re drowning in a sea of information. Curation provides signal in this world of noise. It’ll beat algorithmic recommendation, at least for a while, because it’s congruent with the way we evolved to learn—from other humans.

Curation as a service (CaaS) is the future. Will curation of products become more valuable than the quality of the actual product? What do you think? 🤔 💭

Think I found it. Zucker's Bagels by 23rd & Park He starts filming walking southbound down Park between 19th & 20th. Way he talks it was presumably filmed w/i a few minutes of leaving. Said "bagel shop", not deli. Only spot that makes sense given timeline + walking path Enjoy!

I want the jeans at the MET Gala & I’m willing to make an offer to anyone going: If you invite me as your +1 you'll get a spot on the jeans, a Material NFT (est. value $40k), membership in the DAO that votes on my life decisions, and a killer date

I heard if you go in the bathroom, turn out the lights, look in the mirror, and say "DAO" three times a VC will appear and hand you a term sheet

If you've never listened to music by yourself in a dark room while doing absolutely nothing else, you're missing out. Just close your eyes and be absorbed.

This time I asked permission. Tomorrow at the Hirshhorn in DC, America’s national museum of modern art, 1-4pm. Material, a first-of-its-kind, live & interactive exhibit that bridges the physical/digital divide and explores new territory for what NFTs, art, & clothing can be.

Ask forgiveness not permission. Thank you to the Art Institute of Chicago for unknowingly playing host.

If you’ll be in NYC on Saturday, like this tweet. If it gets 50 likes, I’ll walk around Manhattan for 8 hours straight, and if you find me, you’ll get to add to the jeans and receive your NFT. Everyone who likes this is eligible.

Today, Laurie Anderson, one of our most important living artists, added a piece to the jeans. Probably nothing. Welcome to Material @OnlyAnExpert . “Once you get the message…hang up the phone!”
