The book has taken many shapes in the five millennia over which humans have sought to record information — varying with the needs of writers and readers and with materials available for production. Join us for a performance and lecture by a scholar and artist that will unpack the ways books have always been dynamic, interactive experiences, whether their interface looks like a tablet or a touchscreen. Come see the body of the book again to understand what is has been and what it might become.
