Love Story Machine. endeavors to explore relationships between people and language, to work intuitively with our instincts to organize the universe, and to embrace the great abstraction that unifies us all—love. this traveling installation is a collaboration between the collective and the larger community.
the project asks participants to create a card for the catalogue that explicates a personal love story in a brief but evocative manner. the format of the card mimics the style of card found in the outmoded card catalogue. once the story is written and titled, each participant is asked to categorize his or her narrative using the dewey decimal system. the goal is to amass a substantial collection of vignettes that map out our collective humanness.
