Maria Popova may be the best curator of Awesome on the Internet after the blue's own hivemind. Her site,
Brain Pickings, has been
mentioned a
few times, but no-one appears to have pointed out her
Twitter feed or her contributions to TBWA's tumblr,
Curiosity Counts. Some recent posts of note: a piece on
digital parasitism and the business of culture, Terry Prachett's self-documentary
Choosing To Die, her selection of
the best children's and picture books of 2011. Also, the best of Brain Pickings from
last week and
2010. When not doing all that, she's writing for several magazines,
organising the effort to
restock the Brookyn OWS library after its destruction by police, and
curating physical objects, sent as gifts every quarter.

Copy-art.net is an ongoing curatorial project that aims to create an online platform to exchange works between artists, curators and the public and give the audience free access to works of art. Artists have been invited to submit work to Copy-art in any medium that will then be available online, making it possible for visitors to use these works in any possible way and without restrictions.
Submitted works can be downloaded, changed, distributed, exhibited and used by all visitors for free. All submitted works will be present online in an archive, and available to the public to access. Commercial use of the works is excluded.

Radiohead are taking over the
BBC this Christmas. For one week, from the 22nd to the 28th of December,
the band will assume control of BBC digital staion
6Music, choosing music, selecting shows, co-presenting programmes and contributing website material. The station is streamed worldwide. Christmas this year may be a little less jolly.
