Books of Sand are interactive installations that relate the movement of hands in the sand to hypertexts taken from the Web. Each installation consists of an 85 cm. 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.
Both buckets constitute two interfaces that involve a tactile game; the sand is the background substance for the unfolding of the hypertexts of which the Web immense dynamical memory is constituted.
Information, like the sand and the text, are indistinguishable and innumerable ones; they take their form by virtue of the inclusive-categorizing gesture of the hands at that precise moment.
