Hey, do you have a copy of is a digital repository, reading room, and shadow library.
Based on the informal exchange of texts and resources between students, the project examines the possibility of moments of design in the interactions between the user and the repository. Existing outside of the regulations of the institution, the project is a site for provocation, collaboration, activism, and documentation.
The collection is crowd-sourced and is reliant on the input of users to expand it. Files can be uploaded in the form of pdfs or photos of pages. An algorithm scans and manipulates the images before uploading them to the digital reading room. The reading room rearranges its materials upon every refresh of the page, allowing for new narratives and relationships between the materials to be formed.
Rotating in the background is a digital model of the La Trobe Reading Room at the State Library of Victoria. The model was creating through photogrammetric processing of one hundred images sourced from Instagram. It serves as a metaphor for the digital crowd-sourced landscape that the project occupies.
