The Instant Public Library is a project that attempts to construct an “instant” public space through the form of an interactive object combining graphic and furniture design. As an object, it is a mobile and accessible cart on wheels that can be moved around flexibly. Inside, the cart houses a storage compartment for books and zines, and on the outside, text informs viewers of the contents inside, while simultaneously serving as display racks for when the cart is parked.
The Instant Public Library constructs a portable public space that is activated by people’s meaningful interactions with the information housed within and displayed on the activated object.
