[Augmented / Obstructed]  

Carol Padberg and Andy Deck produced Augmented / Obstructed in conjunction with Artspace New Haven at Yale's Sterling Memorial Library. The show reactivated the unused card catalogue room using cryptic, colorful barcodes and tag symbols. The installation also included specially prepared smartphones, ancient clay tablets, and books readable only by cell phones. The work invited visitors to consider the cultural journey from clay tablets and the printing press to digital tablets, machine vision, and the Internet. There's a catalogue, and the show may be adapted for other venues.
