Zenith of Zeigarnik
Zenith of Zeigarnik is a new body of work by designer and artist Miguel Rodriguez that explores personal and geographic memory through digital form. Reimagining drawings from the artist’s past, the work expands into a multidimensional visual world rendered through 3D modeling, sculpting, and volumetric photogrammetry. The work moves across four screens as a living archive of both past and speculative selfhood, integrating fragments of San Antonio’s built environment such as taquerías, hand-painted signs, and fallen structures. This exhibition continues Rodriguez’s larger practice of creative world-building through perpetual rebirth, situated at the intersection of memory, invention, and machine. Zenith of Zeigarnik is a conceptual inquiry into the architectures we inherit and the ones we construct to survive within – or without.
As part of Zenith of Zeigarnik, Miguel Rodriguez presents the San Antonio Public Library’s first-ever augmented reality experience—inviting viewers to engage with memory and materi…

Through The Stacks Book Club
This month we are reading "You, Again" by Katie Goldbeck. After their disastrous first meeting, Ari and Josh never expect their paths to cross again.

Turns out, spending time with your former nemesis is fun when you're too sad to hate each other. It's better than romance. Until one night, the unspoken boundaries of their platonic relationship begin to blur.
We will meet September 27th, 2025 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm to discuss this contemporary romance.
