The Broken Kilometer

Five rows of polished brass stretch across a long loft. Move along the viewing threshold and watch highlights travel over the repeated rods as their spacing opens toward the far wall.

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

An interpretation of The Broken Kilometer. Five hundred rods, their two-metre length and five-centimetre diameter follow Dia’s documentation. Room details and lighting are approximations; the visitor remains outside the artwork field.
