XENOTHEKA

XENOTHEKA is a digital library (of an architectural student). It is a context, a neighborhood, and a galaxy. Books inhabit Xenotheka, they are its actors and characters. In Xenotheka books and concepts become lively computational objects. They love, hate, and flirt. Xenotheka does not aspire to collect all the books. Not at all. Xenotheka is an interest, a question, and an atmosphere. Xenotheka is a context for communicating with unknown books. Xenotheka is personal and synthetic, rather than disciplinary and analytic. In Xenotheka many interests, and views coexist. In Xenotheka books start to gather, without a clear reason, but around a certain interest.
