“This book is written for the artist and the layman, for everyone interested in his relationship to our existing civilization. It is an extension of my previous book, The New Vision. But while The New Vision gave mainly particulars about the educational methods of the old Bauhaus, Vision in Motion concentrates on the work of the Institute of Design, Chicago, and presents a broader, more general view of the interrelatedness of art and life.” (from the author’s foreword)

A collection of four essays on the institution of the public library and the relevance of today’s online text collections. Published on the occasion of an exhibition and conference held in Zagreb, Croatia, in May and June 2015.
“The public library is:
* free access to books for every member of society;
* library catalog;
* librarian.
With books ready to be shared, meticulously cataloged, everyone is a librarian. When everyone is librarian, library is everywhere.”
Texts by McKenzie Wark, Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, Manar Zarroug, and Paul Otlet.
