Chris Eng says "Bwuh?"
sisifo:present:bookshelfporn:supernice: Chris Cobb’s There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide Worldhas been one of my favorite installations for years… Chris Cobb, a local San Francisco artist, did something amazing to a bookshop called Adobe Books- he arranged every single one of the 20,000 books by color. Chris and a team of 16 volunteers stayed up all night (ten hours, several pizzas and 30 bottles of water later) and arranged all of the books by hand. Inside every book there is a tag saying where it belongs. (via) You can also watch a video of the tedious work that went into the project here and read an interview with Cobb here. (via simko) So simple, so beautiful.
