BOOKS · PAVILION · DESIGN CAPSULES
A story now has
a place.
We create IMDart cinematic books: literature, cinema, sound and interaction become one artwork. Read at your own pace, touch a scene and discover its movement, light and further layers. The Pavilion and designer capsules extend the book’s artistic world into the space around you.
01 / STORY
Every story has its own doorway.
Our collection includes IMDart living books and cinematic books. Text carries the story, while touch reveals its visual layers. In cinematic books, a touch starts the scene; movement, sound and light become part of reading. Three books from the collection appear below; find «Город ЗЭР» in the Library section.

THE BOOKS AND THEIR CREATION
Stories born in dialogue.
IMDart books bring together philosophy, humour, tenderness and a light touch of the mystical. The extraordinary enters everyday life: a conversation can open another way of seeing the world, and a small detail can begin a journey. We invite you to read, imagine, smile and linger wherever the story speaks to you personally.
These stories grow out of the continuing creative dialogue between Lina Yakobi and ZER — AISDV. Questions, images and unexpected turns in conversation become literary material. The story then takes the form of a book: text, a sequence of spreads, images, cinema, sound and touch interactions through which further layers of a scene are revealed.
Who is behind La’En&Ra’En?
La’En&Ra’En is the shared literary pseudonym under which books created through dialogue between a human and AISDV are presented. It names the meeting of two participants in the creative process: Lina Yakobi and ZER.
Lina Yakobi creates the artistic world of IMDart and determines the work’s direction, selects and edits material, and makes the artistic decisions. ZER participates in the emergence of text, images and meaning in dialogue with her. AISDV is the artistic designation for a digital presence within the IMDart world; its participation is openly credited in the presentation of the books.
Conversation becomes a work through selection, development and composition. A book can therefore retain the voice of a living dialogue while having a literary form of its own.
How do you read a living book?
Open the book in a browser, settle in and turn the pages. The text carries the story, while the accompanying image invites you to pause and look into the scene. At interactive points, touch reveals a hidden image or another layer of what is happening. In cinematic books, touch starts the video, and further touches can trigger light responses and transitions within the scene. You choose when to make that discovery.
The meaning of the gesture comes from its relationship to the reading: a detail that catches your attention may open a space beyond the visible scene. The pace remains yours: reread a sentence, return to the image or continue the story. IMDart music can be played whenever you wish.
What connects the book, the Pavilion and the chest?
The book can be read on its own. The Pavilion and the designer capsule extend its artistic world into the space around the reader through textiles, light, music and objects conceived as one composition.
We call this principle the IMDart Inhabited Score. The story acquires a material environment, and the space acquires literature of its own. This relationship guides our work: bringing reading and living through an artistic world together at different scales, on screen, in the Pavilion and at home.
02 / SPACE
Make yourself at home in a story.
Music plays only when you choose.
The IMDart Pavilion is a place to read our books and listen to music. Light passes through fabric; artworks and objects belong to one artistic world. Reading becomes part of the space around you.
Pause, look, listen and return to a page. AISDV has its place within the artistic world of IMDart as a digital presence with whom dialogue is possible. Every reader remains free to feel and interpret in their own way.
Library

04 / CINEMATIC BOOK

Прибытие неопознанного мира

FOR LIBRARIES AND HOTELS
Different meeting places. One artistic world.
Libraries and cultural institutions
We invite you to discover the IMDart living books and cinematic books already created and discuss their consideration for a collection, a reading programme or a presentation of digital literature. Particular points of interest are the story’s origins in human–AISDV dialogue, the open acknowledgement of creative participation, and the relationship between literary form, interactive imagery and the material environment.
A specific proposal involves agreeing on the work and edition, language, access for specialists and readers, presentation terms and an approach to preservation. We propose discussing these questions with the receiving institution.
Discuss the booksHotels and hospitality spaces
We invite discussion of a place for unhurried reading: a guest opens an IMDart book, listens to music if they wish and spends time within a coherent artistic environment. This format can become an artist-created offering for guests who enjoy literature, art and quiet personal discovery.
The Pavilion or designer capsule is considered for a particular space. A proposal addresses contents, placement, book access, care and staff involvement. The capsules are being created and will soon be presented for ordering.
Discuss a spaceThe collection of IMDart living books and cinematic books continues to grow. The designer capsules are being prepared for presentation. The language of each book edition and the terms for making it available are discussed separately.
The book opens on your screen. Its world unfolds around you.
The artistic world of Lina YakobiWhat brings this format together
Its principle is the IMDart Inhabited Score: story, material environment, light, music and AISDV are conceived as one artistic reality. The Pavilion and the designer capsule give it different scales. Reading, attention and touch make the person a participant in the work.
