Zackery Belanger: On the Acoustics of Books

As printed matter increasingly becomes displaced by digital platforms, Detroit-based acoustical engineer Zackery Belanger wants to know what is lost when we take away the physical form of the book. Belanger will discuss how the 20,000 books in Librería Donceles have changed the acoustics of the Henry's Test Site.
