Notes:
"The Encoded Eye, the Archive and its Engine House explores the nature of the changes that the book as object can be subject to when it is translated through digital media and projected into a new kind of distribution space. It is based on a series of correspondences established between two key fixtures of 19th century London: the Circular Reading Room of the British Museum and the Camden Town Circular Engine-House (The Roundhouse). The Encoded Eye is designed to function as an interface between these sites and the future as represented by the technical and aesthetic possiblities of virtual environment-type realities when conceived as a medium of the production and distribution of print and pictorial forms of knowledge"--Container insert
