On the Topic of Books

Thursday, October 25, 2007

This “Anxiety Book”, Designed bty Boston-based artist Pete Froslie, is a motorized book that remains open while scanning its surroundings for nearby people. When approached, the book quickly shuts its cover and remains closed for a certain duration. When left alone, the book re-opens and continues the cycle. This project aims to integrate emotional responses into inanimate objects.
