24.11.08 The House of Books has no Windows
2 comments
The Gallery of Modern Art in Oxford has this fantastic installation, “The House of Books has no Windows”. A collaboration between Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, it’s constructed from 5000 books. Sadly, I only had my iPhone with me, so the pics aren’t great:
Truly a book sniffers delight. You can see more of the exhibition and the artists on the BBC Culture Show site.

Looks like all it needs is a lamp and a beanbag!

Ok, I have an inkling (pun not intended) to modify that book image to the right to say “Schneier on Squid.”
“The closest the squid industry has to a rock star.”
