Paul Virilio Library
The fractal space of the Library is the mirror of the Accident. Whatever form the Accident may take, it will find its reflection there, generating visual ruptures and giving rise to expanding realms of imagination. This will be the first manifestation of the Museum of the Accident.
The rooms of the Library are hexagonal in shape and follow one another in a random sequence. Their spatial and temporal progression emerges from a stochastic process: (ω, t) → Xt(ω). From each room, one or two passages lead to others, whose location, contents, or configuration remain entirely unpredictable.
After every sequence of six hexagonal iterations in the same direction, a void appears at the center of the original cluster. This is the anti-form: an ideal reading space, visible only through a narrow slit hidden behind a randomly chosen book. The space cannot be entered, except by crossing to the other side of the mirror—a secret the visitor must discover for themselves.
As for me, I prefer to dream that these polished surfaces are meant to evoke the infinite, and to promise it.
Jorge Luis Borges
