This presentation aims to identify similar shifts that have been prototyped in the emergent arena of online curatorial practice. Drawing on their own curatorial vehicle - Off Site Project - and close involvement with a global network of contemporaries, Pita Arreola-Burns and Elliott Burns will identify certain trends and behaviours of the Web 2.0 era, before speculating on the new trajectories implied by Web 3.0 curation.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>Off Site Project</b> is an online curatorial platform founded by Pita Arreola-Burns and Elliott Burns in 2017.
