cognoscenti is a term in Stanislaw Lem's Book Microworlds.

A cognoscenti is described as

A person with superior, usually specialized knowledge or highly refined taste; a connoisseur. by the wiktionary.

An elected circle of this kind of people can give an artist a local exploit to the maximum of his achievable effect, according to Hutchinson, cited here by Lem.
