Project Details
- "You cannot step twice into the same river." - Heraclitus. "Books of Change" encourages the user to consider change and our relationship to it.
- Among other elements of the installation, a Macintosh/video camera/laser printer and morphing software by Gryphon allow the user to take away a morph-flipbook as a reminder of change and their visit.
- "'Books of Change' is an interactive installation that seeks to be both entertaining and thought-provoking... The purpose of 'Books of Change' is to invite users to reflect on their dynamic and symbiotic relationship with our environment, both locally and universally."
