RE:STRUCTURE - The book as a performative object
Research Project 2021
The library is founded on the traditional principle of being interested in traditional material culture, but when it comes to digital objects their constraints and contexts are different.
i. Libraries are information spaces inhabited by books.
ii. A book is a frame for its content.
iii. Typography is the appearance of the content.
In a chain reaction, if typography mutates to become three-dimensional then the contents of the book will require a different performance from the reader. As a result, the library becomes a different space, an embodied space for performing this new book format.
