According to PSU, the book titles "reflect education and sustainability efforts" and were selected by students, faculty, and staff.〔Portland State University (PSU): * (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdx.edu/pcre/campus-art-tour ) * 〕 The artist wrote on his official website: This was a percent for art public art project located on a large blank wall at the corner of SW 5th and Hall on the Portland State University campus. I worked with Avalon Kalin on the project and we contacted as many people on the PSU campus–students, faculty, staff, and asked them to recommend a book that they used in their teaching or studies that was available in the PSU library. We then pulled those books off the selves, stacked them up and had them photographed by Motoya Nakamura. The photo was then enlarged by a billboard company and attached to the wall. A plaque is included with all of the names of the people who participated in the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.harrellfletcher.com/?p=472 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Knowledge (mural)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
