To visit The Library is on Fire, it is necessary to reserve a time slot with the welcome agent in front of the exhibition room (3rd floor of The Tower) in order to access it.

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. 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, 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.
