Course Description
The Augmented Library: A Site Specific Installation, Part 2
Spring 2008, Tues. 2:00 - 6:00
Robert Ransick, Joe Holt and Oceana Wilson
The Crossett Library is the site for this year-long creative exploration into how technology can enhance, augment, or change the dynamics of interacting with the architecture, information and occupants of the space. During the term we will critically investigate current library usage and explore scenarios that draw upon or are inspired by RFID, touch screens, ambient informatics, social networking, location awareness, open source, data mining, mixed reality and others. You do not need to be an artist, computer programmer or technologist to meaningfully participate in this course. Students who possess skills and knowledge from the following discipline areas are especially encouraged to participate: Digital Arts, Computing, Psychology, Architecture, Anthropology.
This Mellon Foundation funded course is a collaboration between faculty, staff and students. Research and work will lead towards the creation of new and innovative library experiences. The course includes participation by several faculty and staff.
