Add To My LibraryVol.II created by an innovative systematic methodology, Bibliographic Data Flow selected by international contributors from the artworld produces an infinite idiosyncratic institution.Within the globalised digitisation,e-learning and anti-education, ATML is designed to redraw the cultural institution provoking changes in the function of the material book,while in the process,deinstitutionalising it.© christinamitrentse11 http://www.artworkspace.co.uk/christina-mitrentse.php until

The video ‘BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA FLOW’ is an innovative systematic methodology has been used for the production of ADD TO MY LIBRARY VOL.II project which is exhibited in Art Work Space 29th August -25th September London 2011. Favorite books titles/ authors, selected by invited international contributors from the art world, i.e. artists, writers, curators, museologists, each adding to the construction of an infinite library. Novels,art books , limited publications and cutting-edge journalism, become a paradoxical statement about the lingering power of the book in the Internet age. ‘Add To My Library Vol. II ‘is dialectally related to the book practices of John Latham and writer Walter Benjamin, among other diverse references like Fahrenheit 451.In a globalised environment dominated by the digitazation e-learning and hypertext, Mitrentse’s project alludes to a Meta-Library designed to provoke changes in the function of the material book and in association with the campaing to save the Libraries in UK, while de-institutionalising it in the process.The paradox of Mitrentse’s project is that it is both a sign of dissipation, of the loss of knowledge and the means for its transmission, and a conscious recouping or preservation of the culture of the book. At a moment when established institutions of learning are, in England anyway, in crisis, with universities simultaneously charging highly increased student fees whilst purporting to democratise access to education, Mitrentse focuses not so much on this ostensible cultural expansion as upon notions of the alternative, the marginal and the secret school or anti-institution. ©ChristinaMitrentse 2011
