PP&M: Blog entry 3
The below images are just some rough ideas of what the library, might look like. the text creates and idea that there might be some kind of pattern that the library has formed in, similar to how nature will create patterns with hexagons, this is one thing that my mind keeps coming back to.
One thing that cam to mind when I was reading the text was the idea of 'searching infitinty', that just made me think of the Library's similarities to the internet. Like the library, the internet contains endless amounts of information, one every topic, some of it is fact, some of it is nonsense, theres duplications...
To me it seemed like a search engine was a good comparison.
Below are a couple of rough ideas of what Babel Search would look like, based on Google's home page.
The first image is quite plain, and was my starting point; this I think puts more emphasis on the 'logo' it's self, using the infinity symbol in place of the B. The rest of the images are just further experimentation, I thought with these it would give me an excuse to use the hexagon pattern that I cant seem to move away from.
These experimentations are ok, but I'm still struggling to find a connection that I can move forwards with. I've noticed a couple of references to the 'natural' in the piece; the hexagon it's self, "spherical fruit", "a circular chamber, containing a great circular book", circles being a symbol of life and eternity (did you know that when making honeycomb, bees make circles but when they join they become hexagons?). I think I am going to look into natural hexagons, and see where that may take me.
