Digita - Table of the Present Time
The library is no longer about the accumulation of static knowledge, but rather a collection of formats of information in a state of continuous expansion. The transfer of tangible materials to digital format is both a necessary cataloging process of the library today, as well as an increasingly commonplace research tool. At the intersection of the past and the future tense of the library is the collision of nearly instantaneous digitization technology with the phenomenological atmosphere that affirms the legitimacy of the institution. Digita responds to the current state of flux in the medium of libraries and addresses the tension present between the fast digital world of information and the stoic historicity of the library. The hyper-specificity of Digita memorializes the particular moment in time and space of digital technology by integrating it very specifically into the physical world.
