Begin a dialogue with your community while your work is still evolving. Engage with what your community is working on as it happens. See all of the latest art projects, works and upcoming events from your peers, friends and colleagues to stay ahead of the latest developments. Keep it simple. Stay informed, when new developments are published from the departments and researchers you are interested in.

Show the journey of your work not just the end result. Being able to exhibit a work in progress as opposed to simply showing a finished product allows you to bring in valuable support as your work evolves. Present the focus and connections of your research by building networks through tags and links with other’s work. There’s a method to the madness.

Your definition of your achievements becomes ours. Depending on their fields, artists and scholars value varying outputs. We have therefore excluded algorithms and metrics which assign values to outputs according to some generic scheme. You want the drafts on top and the finished work at the bottom? No problem. You care about your performances more than your publications? Go ahead. You are the curator. Take control of how the world sees you.
