Acksetron Kusanagi is the dream of a depths writing machine with which a thought: a name, a phrase, a verse, a definition would be exactly placed within a volume of fiction.
It is a software for composing Diaphors, thought volumes featuring: A, the depths of a book; B, the transparencies of a film; C, the movements of a reading mind.
Diaphors are one of the three main shapes of Search, which is one of the three planes featured in the long-distance metafiction of 'The Library is on Fire'.
'The Library is on Fire', created and written by Charles Arsène-Henry, can currently be seen on the third floor of the Luma Tower in Arles.
Acksetron Kusanagi is the result of five years of development between Erik and Charles.
