Universidad de Concepción library hosts Law Shifters, an art piece inviting new rules
A sculpture by Danish artist Stine Marie Jacobsen in the Universidad de Concepción's Central Library asks the public to imagine new rules, which the university's students will then translate into legal language.
Why it matters: Visitors to the Universidad de Concepción's Central Library can submit ideas for new rules, and UdeC students will render them in legal language.

Members of the public who visit the Central Library can propose new rules through the sculpture, and if they do, UdeC students will then rework those proposals into legal wording.
