Departing from the library database, Julieta Aranda, Fia Backström, and R. Lyon are working alongside each other in a process that queries the way in which digital repositories structure, mediate, and produce knowledge in parallel to analog processes. They are developing alternate methods for relating information through a number of unannounced experiments accessible via the library that will unfold between January 5 and February 15, 2013. The kernel of these processes is exchanges between the three artists that have preceded and will exceed these investigations. They take place in person, over e-mail, on text messages, and through file sharing sites, and are being processed into a web page over the course of their time in the library. CHECKLIST 1.
