Bibliotekets Skaberværelse (BST) is piloting a different space in the library centered around making
and the encounters taking place there. Through making it turns information into knowledge and promotes
sharing and sense of community. It puts knowledge at play and creates knowledge by experimenting with
materials, space and the coming together of very different actors in the space . It captures knowledge
by archiving and telling the stories and by making these available online.
The experiment was initiated in February 2016 by Gaia Colantonio and Martin Krogh (MA-codesign graduates
at KADK) in collaboration with Sissel Olander (researcher at CODE), Kultur Nord, and the Tingbjerg Library
in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The space came into being through a long series of workshops and a festival of making and fixing, involving
many different actors - local as well as non local.
10 recommendations were handed over to the library accompanied by 10 videos and 10 objects wrapped up in a box (see fig.)
These materials are available at the webpage biblioteketskaber.dk.
Today the workshop is still run by me and you can see a bit of what is going at
