For Database Imaginary, the University of Openess – an online, open source, unaccredited university – inaugurated a Faculty of Taxonomy to work together with its other faculty (Cartography, Physical Education, Problem Solving) to investigate the naming and filing structures that permeate our lives. Faculty activities exhibited include take-away game sheets for playing “categories” and a distributed, anti-systemic library of readings about taxonomies and databases. Users are invited to contribute to and re-catalogue these readings. The Faculty of Taxonomy Library is exhibited within the Banff Centre Library.
