L.O.V.E.
Correspondences with Life
Library of Virtually Everything (L.O.V.E.) is a transformable common space for creating and sharing together while learning, an equivalent to the physical form of the internet or Wikipedia.
L.O.V.E. is a safe and inclusive space for collecting, making, growing, breathing, thinking, contemplating, generating new knowledge, collaborating with other institutions, cooking, sharing, curating, connecting and a museum.
