Books of Sand are interactive installations that relate the movement of hands in the sand to hypertexts containing Jorge Luis Borges texts taken from the Web. It consists of one or more 34 in. side glass bucket full of sand that when touching it with the hands, projected codes retrieved from the Web arise interacting with the movement of the hands. The text moves as a fluid and disappears later.
