Thanks rob So basically you are finding and combining similar things and putting together in decreasing order. Its a good idea and could be used for lots if things. Actually I suppose it is already - things like amazon recommendations?
I particularly like the idea of automating art curation though. For me it removes some of the mystique and preciousness around the activity of curation. Thanks for explaining!
