Collective Electrodynamics posters

Every page of each chapter of Carver Mead's book Collective Electrodynamics, tiled onto a poster.

While working through a chapter, the poster was hung on hooks in front of the desk.

Making of.

While Dave and Robert were trying to see a whole video at once, Bret wanted to see a whole book at once.

Glen's Phumblr (2014) turned a reading list into a space.

The Mathematical Modeling poster (2014) is an expanded table of contents.

The Reading in context (2014) posters have thumbnail grids of entire chapters.

Hanging mobile timelines (2014) get three-dimensional and airborne.

In Known unknowns (2014), Robert applies his video timelines to books and documents.

In the Dynamic Library (2015), the whole book is projected above the shelf, and can be interacted with. This is one of the two key projects (with Research gallery) that sparked Hypercard in the World, which led to Realtalk.

Collective Electrodynamics posters (2018) were actually used for studying an entire book in-depth.
