quently accessed and extrapolate possible patterns of use.
Visualisation of information: Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly…
Which items are being requested?
As an item is requested or returned, the relevant bin lights up in the corresponding dewy decimal colour as mapped by Chris Gaul. The cover image and any other interesting information can perhaps “fly” out of the bin towards us so we can see the item.
The LRS “sound system”
Each bin is assigned a sound and as such library clients will be able to play a composition. Aisle 1 – Drums / Aisle 2 – Strings / Aisle 3 – Percussion…. This will be most effective when a past period of time is replayed at high speed.
What objects are in the bins?
A user can navigate into each bin to explore its contents.
The straighty one eighty visualisation approach is a good point to then subvert the obvious mapping of objects to their physical location.
Why not: flatten all the bins out, make them crumble like high rises being detonated, pull out all the titles that contain the word “curious”, “sublime” or “ridiculous”? Turn each object into a particle and assign them properties; e.g. objects cluster according to their colour and kind or all objects on social sciences (blue) move around in zero gravity, all objects on language (turquoise) form words…
A bin containing mainly poetry. An expressive and self important bunch of objects, orating with emotion, on first observation, it would seem, by their simultaneous grandiose readings, that they are entirely self-absorbed. However, a second observation recorded them creating a collaborative poem with a narrative they could not dream of creating individually.
