An immersive virtual reality (VR) installation has begun at the Drik Studio in Dhaka’s Panthapath, reimagining the future of libraries as interactive spaces that engage visitors through multisensory forms of storytelling.
Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, in partnership with The Tech Academy, is hosting “The Infinite Library.”
The VR installation takes visitors through a cave with access to small chambers that double as portals, or micro worlds, that allow one to travel in time.
It seeks to embed human stories within a much grander narrative, one which includes the birth of the planet and the evolution of all life forms.
The “Library” part of the installation is conceived as a living organism, a kind of embodiment of knowledge that introduces itself to visitors personally before inviting them to explore its house. This includes a QR code game, holograms, 3D-printed objects, audio-visual works, and the project’s central piece: a vast VR library set in a cave.
