The Abandoned Library<\/h1><\/div>

In a future Northern England devastated by climate change, an environmental worker uncovers an abandoned library where books and technology have fused into the architecture and landscape to create new stories.<\/h3>

The Abandoned Library is a short immersive work of fiction for VR by Wakefield-based studio Dreaming Methods exploring themes of climate change, displacement and artificial intelligence. The work incorporates real-time 3D graphics, immersive audio, poetry and archival film footage. The Abandoned Library has been selected for BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival and Bolton Film Festival in 2023. <\/p><\/p><\/a><\/div>
