Library of Water

Move among twenty-four columns of water, with weather words underfoot and a coastal town beyond the windows. Watch the view bend and shift through the glass.

WASD / arrows to walk · drag to look
Touch: move on the left · look on the right

An interpretation of Vatnasafn / Library of Water. The column count and selected English floor words follow Artangel documentation. Placement, architecture, coastal scenery and refraction are approximations; original recordings and the full bilingual word field are not reproduced.
