In the Stacks with Casey Deming & Leslie Grant: Systems
Tumblr media
Air Intakes, New Boiler, Circa 1941-1951, Carleton College Library Archives
You flip a switch, turn on the tap, light the stove, and adjust the thermostat—everyday actions done without consideration of the invisible networks that drive these functions. Gas lines tunnel for miles through earth; water is welled, dammed, circulated; fires feed furnaces. The connective geometry of pipes and wires lie hidden in the soil, tucked away in walls, humming in steam plants.

Carleton College Service Lines by D. Blake Stewart, superintendent of grounds, 1955, revised 1959, Carleton College Library Archives
“Geo-metry—the measure of earth—is a primary act of constructing landscape out of the elemental confusion of water and earth, a fusion paralleled by human confusion: that bewilderment produced by wilderness, which reason seeks to tame in its acts of bounding and enclosure. Little wonder that Aristippus, engaged in the equally primary act of crossing an elemental boundary by stepping ashore from his shipwreck onto the island of Rhodes and spying geometrical shapes in the sands, puts aside his fears: ‘for here are signs of men’."
Denis Cosgrove, “Liminal Geometry and Elemental Landscapes: Construction and Representation," Recovering Landscape: Essays in Contemporary Landscape Architecture, (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1999), p. 105.

Installation of air-conditioning pipes, August 1969, Carleton College Library Archives
“The pickaxes keep nothing of what they bite; they are not filled. Their mouthfuls pile up at the feet of the men and bury their shoes. But the shovels lay up clay and throw it into the tip-truck that a horse with hairy hooves is going to pull on the muddy rails …
“When the tip-truck is filled, the horse stiffens its haunches; the load rises; and the axles chirp …
“Then the gang turns the crank, lengthens the hooks, takes the tip-truck by the armpits, lifts it up, balances it at the end of its chain, and tips it on the cart where clods tumble down, muttering …”
Jules Romains, 1911, quoted by Williams, Rosalind in Notes on the Underground: An Essay on Technology, Society, and the Imagination, (Cambridge: The MIT Press), 1990.

Only though the labors of repair, renovation, and installation do these static systems reveal themselves to the ebb and flow of the human life that depends upon them.
