The ability to transport allows to receive donations from anywhere and bring them to the far corners of Argentina and the continent. In this sense, the ADIM transits through population settlements, schools, bars, rural house holds and all those places where books are not expected. the aim is the promotion of reading and encouraging creativity generated by those who read a book. The ADIM is the sculpture, also a street intervention, a unique piece of art, protest, encouragement, an image from another dimension in this set.
