A creature is looking for the form of its intelligence. Since 2011 an experimental library elaborates itself through readings of its volumes: books, films, video games, discs. It detects in them the movements, operations and structures that eventually compose the logics of its progression. As in a mysterious poem, you enter the possibility of a world where everything becomes suspense, refraction of signs, thought images, virtual source of attention.
Metafiction created and written by Charles Arsène-Henry in a space conceived with Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Martial Galfione, The Library is on Fire develops, with former students of Shapes of Fiction (Architectural Association School of Architecture, London), a research program within the depths of its bibliographies: to devise a new reading instrument.
