Beschreibung
BiblioTech explores the changing role of the library, reading, writing, and publishing in a post-digital age. The title suggests the latin term for library, ''bibliotheca'', and also alludes to how the library and book culture has become increasingly technologised. Across two exhibitions and symposia events in Spring 2022 Torque Editions explored these issues with a range of international artists, thinkers, and library professionals. Through the works in this book, we show how libraries have become hybridised with other environments: from museums and schools, to bedrooms, computer networks, labs and forests, opening up new conceptual space for the future of books; of how and where they are written and read. The book includes a combination of essays, artist pages, and hybrid image-text works relating the library to ways of knowledge formation; the situation for publishing, reading and writing in the context of new technologies; and the library as a hybrid public space for learning, community and counter-cultural action. An extended introduction by the editors includes a survey of contemporary art''s propositions for library futures, and ways that new technology is changing how books are made and circulate today.
