enamoured of rarity, of history … They become lost in their specialties and forget their museum. They become lost in their idea of a museum and forget its purpose. They become lost in working out their idea of a museum and forget their public. And soon, not being brought constantly in touch with the life of their community … they become entirely separated from it and go on making beautifully complete and very expensive collections but never construct a living, active, and effective institution. Museums and libraries in the US originated in similar places and via similar patronage models with their foundational collections coming largely from wealthy collectors of books and art objects, sometimes in conjunction with institutions of higher learning. However, the word “public” remains embedded in what we call the library. And while some branches are named for generous funders, these are secondary to the overall system. In fact, the Queens Public Library system, the largest in the nation, boasts of a branch within a mile of every Queens resident."]]> libraries museums public 2019 lauraraicovich community brooklyn

times are coming when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now.” —Ursula K. Le Guin at the National Book Awards Young people are already envisioning, writing, and creating alternative ways of living, but they need to be given the space, the encouragement, the platform, and the tools to make it happen. With your help, the Octavia Project will bring this opportunity to young women from Brooklyn's under-served neighborhoods. These girls have important, world-altering stories living inside them, but without the support and space to flesh them out, these narratives may languish away in the purgatory of good ideas. We want to use girls’ passion in sci-fi, fantasy, and fan-fiction to teach them skills in science, technology, art, and writing, equipping them with skills to dream and build new futures for themselves and their communities. Our inspiration and namesake is Octavia E. Butler, who broke barriers in writing and science fiction to become an award-winning and internationally recognized author (Kindred, Lilith's Brood). We are inspired by her visions of possible futures and commitment to social justice. Twelve girls, ages 13-18, will participate in this free summer program. In the first workshop a girl might develop her story set two thousand years in the future. In the next workshop, she works with a professional architect to engineer a physical model of her own imaginary future city. In another workshop, girls might learn to code a simple program that morphs their names into strange aliases that inspire fictional adventures. Or they’ll learn the basics of circuits and light up the pages of their work with LEDs. They might even use Twine, an interactive storytelling platform, to share their narratives with the world. No matter the final curriculum, our girls will have access to women working in science and tech, internship and online publishing opportunities, and college-aged mentors. The Octavia Project is the brainchild of a robotics teacher, Meghan McNamara, and a science fiction author, Chana Porter."]]> scifi sciencefiction octaviabutler girls stem education octaviaproject dreaming thinking futurism dreams children youth brooklyn nyc lcproject openstudioproject learning imagination fantasy fanfiction maghanmcnamara chanaporter teaching howwelearn ursulaleguin ursulakleguin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:7e165ebb6c3c/ 2015-04-21T18:05:30+00:00 http://www.facets-con.com/#home robertogreco facets events nyc brooklyn 2015 coding art videogames unconferences carolinesinders janefriedhoff phoenixperry mohinidutta rachelbinx sarahjaffe paoolopedercini ingridburrington joannemcneil https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:59576f1a128c/ 2015-03-20T08:03:16+00:00 http://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/sep/28/new-york-gentrification-brooklyn-wealth-poverty-drive-change robertogreco brooklyn animals cats dogs chickens pigeons birds 2014 pets nyc https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:967f5724bc24/ 2015-03-20T08:01:07+00:00 http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150317/greenpoint/lamb-spotted-lunching-with-diners-at-greenpoint-restaurant robertogreco sheep lambs animals pets brooklyn 2015 greenpoint human-animalrelationships human-animalrelations multispecies https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:72f491d8958d/ 2015-03-18T06:59:38+00:00 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/30/dining/australians-arrive-serving-breakfast.html robertogrecocafes nyc australia coffeeshops coffee 2014 brooklyn food coffeehouses https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ae3169a2a604/ 2015-03-05T22:26:43+00:00 http://rubyamanze.com/ robertogreco rubyonyinyechiamanze art artists africa nyc brooklyn space aliens in-betweeners permanence geography home hybrids authenticity wholeness belonging identity memory fantasy globalcitizens ghosts nigeria rubyamanze https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:154856497ecc/ 2015-02-04T03:33:19+00:00 http://laundromatproject.org/ robertogreco art nyc brooklyn bed-stuy laundry socialpracticeart public lcproject openstudioproject everyday laundromats community collaboration workinginpublic https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:2a850730d270/ 2014-12-04T19:59:19+00:00 https://placesjournal.org/article/library-as-infrastructure/ robertogrecoLibraries are not, or at least should not be, engines of productivity. If anything, they should slow people down and seduce them with the unexpected, the irrelevant, the odd and the unexplainable. Productivity is a destructive way to justify the individual’s value in a system that is naturally communal, not an individualistic or entrepreneurial zero-sum game to be won by the most industrious. Libraries, she argued, “will always be at a disadvantage” to Google and Amazon because they value privacy; they refuse to exploit users’ private data to improve the search experience. Yet libraries’ failure to compete in efficiency is what affords them the opportunity to offer a “different kind of social reality.” I’d venture that there is room for entrepreneurial learning in the library, but there also has to be room for that alternate reality where knowledge needn’t have monetary value, where learning isn’t driven by a profit motive. We can accommodate both spaces for entrepreneurship and spaces of exception, provided the institution has a strong epistemic framing that encompasses both. This means that the library needs to know how to read itself as a social-technical-intellectual infrastructure." … "In libraries like BiblioTech — and the Digital Public Library of America — the collection itself is off-site. Do patrons wonder where, exactly, all those books and periodicals and cloud-based materials live? What’s under, or floating above, the “platform”? Do they think about the algorithms that lead them to particular library materials, and the conduits and protocols through which they access them? Do they consider what it means to supplant bookstacks with server stacks — whose metal racks we can’t kick, lights we can’t adjust, knobs we can’t fiddle with? Do they think about the librarians negotiating access licenses and adding metadata to “digital assets,” or the engineers maintaining the servers? With the increasing recession of these technical infrastructures — and the human labor that supports them — further off-site, behind the interface, deeper inside the black box, how can we understand the ways in which those structures structure our intellect and sociality? We need to develop — both among library patrons and librarians themselves — new critical capacities to understand the distributed physical, technical and social architectures that scaffold our institutions of knowledge and program our values. And we must consider where those infrastructures intersect — where they should be, and perhaps aren’t, mutually reinforcing one another. When do our social obligations compromise our intellectual aspirations, or vice versa? And when do those social or intellectual aspirations for the library exceed — or fail to fully exploit — the capacities of our architectural and technological infrastructures? Ultimately, we need to ensure that we have a strong epistemological framework — a narrative that explains how the library promotes learning and stewards knowledge — so that everything hangs together, so there’s some institutional coherence. We need to sync the library’s intersecting infrastructures so that they work together to support our shared intellectual and ethical goals."]]> shannonmattern 2014 libraries infrastructure access
