Are you drawn to open-ended exploration, virtual wandering and getting lost down rabbit holes? ₊˚.༄ Lean into the curiousity via channel surfing.

Commonly referred to as the practice of quickly scanning through TV channels or radio frequencies to find something interesting to watch or listen to, channel surfing can also be applied to ideas.

On Are.na, a channel is simultaneously a container, a conceptual bucket, a filter, a sieve, a gallery, boundary object, a vessel for thought, a complex meme, and a playlist for ideas.

Channel Surfing is a monthly web series diving into the digital collections of Are.na super-users. Each month, join host Firuza as she invites 2 of her favourite Are.na collectors to showcase a channel of their choosing, and reflect on why resonant ideas stick.
