One of my colleagues posted a question to his facebook wondering what the library of the future would look like.Here is my unedited response which is a little more casual given the nature of fb discussions :In terms of physical space, it needs to be inviting, and adaptive to a variety of users -- easily configurable furniture (by the user), the same with lighting, and also a mix of quiet and "discussion" areas. Surfaces and items need to be as durable as possible -- preferably using "green" and renewable materials. The customizable library -- my library.

Granted this clocks in a little over 4 minutes (sorry!), but you do realize this is several days of footage? ;-D Working on a mixed media piece called Pandora's Box. Footage from this past fall, speed up 6x, plus a little music from Revolution Void, licensed under creative commons, of course.
