8229 Babel Tower [iPhone]

Created by Ariel Malka, Chronotext is a growing collection of software experiments exploring the relation between text, space and time. One of these is the new iPhone application called Babel Tower. The app lets you visualize, in 3D, the Biblical passage mentioning the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), wrapped around a helicoidal path, allowing you to read the text by rotating it indefinitely. The app also includes images of previous projects in the chronotext archive all wrapped up in a wonderful interface.

Note: if you shake the device, the tower will collapse together with the text!

Ariel Malka is a designer and programmer based in Tel-Aviv. Since 2003, he stands behind chronotext as “a playground to explore new ways to read and write, a constantly evolving software toolkit”.
