The Marginalia Archive
An ongoing, interactive project about the changing nature of reading and seeing in an era of digital transformation. Examples of marginalia (readers’ annotations)—are collected in the form of photocopies into a functioning archive that viewers can browse and contribute to during an exhibition. The archive is also used as source material for drawings. #themarginaliaarchive
