XLIBRIS -- November 30, 2012 5-8PM
Root Division, San Francisco
Curated by MicroClimate Collective: Glenna Cole Allee, Victoria Mara Heilweil,
and Guest Curator Sarah Ratchye
Happy Hour Closing Reception & Reading

X Libris is an exhibition exploring the book as a mode of communication in flux. As we transition from the printed page to digital communication, our relationship to print changes as we enter the literary realm of binary code and multi-directional referencing and browsing. Once valued as a solitary activity requiring deep concentration, perusing written language is incrementally measured, and our attention fragmented. X Libris explores the book as a vulnerable, ephemeral, morphing form, in this time of accelerated transition to digital communication and “real-time.”
