The Archive of Missing Things
A digital scavenger hunt where the covert audience seeks the heart of a maze-like archive. Set in a public library, audience-seekers are given headphones, a notebook and an iPad. Live actors and audio narration provide navigational clues that guide our virtual explorations.
