This publication presents two networked essays that, between them, attempt to visualise the poetics and possibilities of (dis)order, (il)legibility, and (dis)orientation. By addressing the conditions of seeing with, and through, machines used in library technology, Bryony Quinn and Paul Bailey approach the dynamic ordering and continual inventory of the Sitterwerk Foundation Kunstbibliothek as a site and a system of intrigue. Their essays – one written, the other visual – trace the intent of a bespoke machine, fitted with an RFID scanner, that reads the library’s shelves at the end of each day, creating an up-to-date record and map of what has changed due to visitor behaviour.
