På Seattle Public Library, ni vet det stiliga som Koolhaas designat, öppnade idag en konstutställning. Det är en elektroniskt installation som bygger på de senaste utlånen besökarna har gjort.
Four visualizations that float across six liquid crystal display screens interpret live data regarding material that patrons have checked out from the Central Library within the past hour. The data are fed directly from the Library's Information Technology department to the artwork, which is powered by three computers.
Den tredje, Dewey Dot Matrix verkar klart coolast!
...shows the titles divided into Dewey classifications from 000 to 999. The titles of non-Dewey items such as fiction books float from the top to the bottom of the screen.
Konstnären bakom installationen, Making Visible the Invisible, heter George Legrady och är professor i interaktiv media vid University of California.
