每当怀俄明州任何地方的公共图书馆访客从电脑上搜索图书馆目录时，“丝心”就会通过一束发光的光缆，在一闪的颜色和光中照亮这一搜索。每根挂在上面的1000根光纤电缆(总共超过5英里的电缆)对应于杜威十进制系统中的一个呼叫号码，该系统将图书馆的藏书组织成大约1000类知识。这些类别的标题显示在大厅的南墙和北墙在光纤电缆的终端点文本。

Whenever any Wyoming public library visitor anywhere in the state performs a search of the library catalog from a computer, Filament Mind illuminates that search in a flash of color and light through glowing bundles of fiber optic cables. Each of the 1000 fiber optic cables hanging above (totaling over 5 miles of cable) corresponds to a call number in the Dewey Decimal System, which organizes the library’s collection into approximately 1000 categories of knowledge. These category titles are displayed in text on the lobby’s south and north walls at the termination points of the fiber optic cables.

就像历史上的图书馆把伟人的名字和文字刻在石头上一样，提顿县图书馆将通过他们的问题的活生生的视觉档案馆，使所有参观者的思想形象化。长丝思维将从字面上说是图书馆的头脑，进而也是社区的心智。通过体验它，访问者将见证向数字目录提出的个人问题和查询的转变，通过形式、颜色和光的突触触发传递到以前所未有的视觉表达方式显示的突发性集体智能。

Just as libraries throughout history have inscribed the names and words of great minds into stone, Teton County Library will visualize the thoughts of all its visitors through a living, visual archive of their questions. Filament Mind will literally be the mind of the library and, by extension, that of the community. Experiencing it, visitors will witness the transformation of individual questions and queries posed to the digital catalog, transmitted through synaptic firings of form, color, and light, into a display of emergent collective intelligence of unprecedented visual expression.

该安装旨在说明如何通过巧妙地编织我们的思想、欲望和相互交流和赋予我们的环境的问题来培养社区。它是这个培养的核心所在的图书馆。灯丝的思想是以艺术为基础的观念为基础的，对于公众来说，艺术应该表现出艺术家的观念，因为他们被社会的心和思想所转化，这反映了我们对我们思想的影响。没有比我们在整个生活中培养的利益更大的这种影响的表现；我们从世界吸取的问题，并通过学习、探索和创造而向它表达。

The installation aspires to illustrate how community is cultivated through the delicate weaving of our thoughts, desires, and questions exchanged and imparted on each other and our environments. And it’s the library that is at the very heart of this cultivation. Filament Mind is based on the notion that art, which is truly for the public, should manifest the ideas of the artist only as they are transformed by what’s in the hearts and minds of the community, as a reflection of the influence of place on our thoughts. There’s no greater manifestation of this influence than in the interests that we cultivate throughout life; the questions we draw from our world and express back to it through learning, exploring, and creating.
