Leah Schreiber’s graduate research is invested in finding relationships between the human body, cartographic processes, and our understanding of internal/external space. This semester, as the Artist-In-Residence at the American Geographical Society Library, Leah has been researching its vast resources on cartographic record and process. After spending much of the semester doing research she has begun a temporary art installation inside the AGS Library titled Daily Navigation.
Her concept is to use a process of behavioral mapping in conjunction with more formal cartographic graphic systems. Specifically, after a process of data collection, patterns of thread created by recording the movement of AGSL librarians are being temporarily incorporated into the library floor.
