"Livro de Areia (Book of Sand)" is a work of hypermedia net art by Regina Celia Pinto in which a game of dominoes forms the central conceit. Each domino in the main tower is linked to its own net art piece, and users navigate these pieces by interacting with the dominoes. These pieces are displayed as pop-up windows and feature themes like ethics and hunger.
