Curation is the buzz-word: pre-selected people, projects and portals that are in tune with our interests and tastes.

The internet is a mass of (mostly) unsorted information. It can sometime feel like it’s designed to confuse… and to confuse about confusion. With so much conflicting information and websites competing for our attention, it’s easy to just give up and scroll through social media hoping to find something that will inspire us. Not to mention the news, with so many sources designed to manipulate us to a particular point of view. This YouTube video lays out that dynamic pretty well.

This brings us back to trusted sources. We have all found our news sources, some mainstream and some more off the beaten path, like these sources of good news and the alternative press. But what about our goto places for culture and inspiration? This is the intention of Sprungvision. To curate hidden gems and other good things and to point to other places that do the same.

Here are a few:

Edge of Humanity
The Marginalian

Monoskop
