A data-projection of computer-animated text onto the external surface of the actual building. The text is sampled from the first and last pages of each of the one-hundred books. A computer programme has been developed, in association with Bob Farrell, which randomly selects text samples, and which fades these up against a black background. The text 'floats' about the upper part of the building and eventually floats up and out of the top of the building, disappearing into the night sky.
