Curation Note: "The ease of creation has led to exponential output increases, creating a paradox: as our ability to make things has expanded, our ability to find meaning within that abundance has become increasingly critical." ChatGPT recommended me this article after I showed it my Copus taste profile.

Curation Note: I've been knowing Hsieh's "Rope Piece" and "Punch Clock Piece" for a while now. He's one of those sanely crazy artists who'd use his life to do art. Today, during a research, I found his artist website, and it is just like every artist's portfolio website.

Curation Note: I encountered this article (and photo curation) while creating a TikTok post to showcase iconic Magnum photos. At the moment, the power of these photos really comes from the cultural, political, and historical weight they carry. It makes me wonder about the life of a photographer at that time when...

Curation Note: I watched this Maya Deren film when doing a research project. It is a 14mins b&w silent film that could overthrow your previous understanding of cinematic language. I totally would believe David Lynch was influenced by her and I think I read it somewhere too.

Curation Note: After watching the film I went to read its wikipedia page and this part basically said everything: "I was inspired to make Neighbours by a stay of almost a year in the People's Republic of China. Although I only saw the beginnings of Mao's revolution, my faith in human nature was reinvigorated by i...

Curation Note: NfX are investing in AI games and believes the window will be open for the next 30+ months. It's a good cta article to get you start thinking how an AI-native game could be like.

Curation Note: A friend of mine built this website and has been running it since 2008, he also does the translations himself! No doubt he's a huge Wuxia fan. Crazy enough they even have a Wiki with all the major Wuxia concepts, and a community forum for other Wuxia fans. This can be a great entry point to the wor...

Curation Note: I didn’t know David Lynch as a painter and installation artist until a classmate of mine, who’s a huge Lynch fan, took our whole class to a Lynch art exhibition. It felt like a mix between a contemporary gallery tour and a haunted house. I’d seen a few of Lynch’s films before, and watched more afte...

Curation Note: This is one of those websites that I keep going back to and can't believe I haven't saved it the first time. It's a " Ready-to-use configurations for your Claude Code projects", aka Claude Code Templates. I have so far tried Front end Developer template, SEO Specialist, Code Reviewer and they reall...

Curation Note: It's really great to see another human-being unleashing their creative energy. In a way, people who resonate with your thoughts are family. To me as a non-native english speaker, Alex's words are plain but strong. If you're an emerging creator or don't believe you can create, check this out.

Curation Note: I found this article in the comment section of a TikTok post where the author was asking people to read it. I tried googling it in multiple ways but couldn’t find it. Luckily I found her substack link in a picture she posted. This reminded me what Copus is built for. Not to collect the stuff that al...

Curation Note: The idea of a digital garden has been around for more than two decades with many intellectuals contributing to it either conceptually or by practice. It's a beautiful idea and influenced Copus in its early days (2023-2024). "Avoid walled-gardens" is a good advice and that's why Copus is open-source...

Curation Note: In Dan's view, true creators are more like "curators" who gather and filter information through their taste and build trust with their audience to give a sense of "clarity" (or I'd understand it as security). I'm often cautious with life-coach-type opinions like these because their audiences are of...

Curation Note: Artistic, joyful, yet sentimental film about a band of Italian tomb raiders led by a psychic who eventually found something “too beautiful for human eyes”. You’d like it if you like Tarkovsky.

Curation Note: "AI produces a lot of stuff, but it lacks brand containers. The more stuff AI produces, the more media platforms will be necessary to curate what is worth paying attention to, whether that curation is top down (editors) or bottom up (UGC)."

Curation Note: “We're in the era of modern software companies as lifestyle brands,” and Copus is essentially a hub for "Taste Economy". "Now there are like 12 Slack competitors and the main difference is branding." aka how you market it.
