Title: Que es un Libro? What Is A Book? How Do We Learn?

The basic concept of this sculpture is about books as objects.
People buy books by the yard to create libraries in their homes, books as objects.
Coffee table books that are so huge, heavy and expensive they are rarely opened, books as objects.
If a book titled “Music, Sound, Noise” is never opened is it still a book?
If I make a wood sculpture titled “Music, Sound, Noise” that looks like a book, that has a marble inside it’s empty box, rolling around making sounds is that any less of a book than a real book that sits silently, unopened right next to it.
If I hinge two blocks of wood together and put a title on the outside of one block, would that make it a book?
If a “Real” book is never opened, is it still a book, or just a block of paper wood pulp, no information given out?
What is the nature of access to information? If the book is never opened then there is no access to information.
