AFTER HOURS / Librarian / Web library
Keep the ideas close.
Two original research documents become a small browser library. Move from the brief to its sound palette, adjust the reading view, and return after a reload.
Open the exhibition brief
After Hours Field Notes and Materials and Sound were imported as original PDFs. The field notes open in a light reading view at 67% zoom.
Follow the sound
Pages five and six connect four measured waveform diagrams with the project handoff. The reader keeps the illustrated spread together.
Change the reading light
The supported Dark control changes the same spread to a dimmer reading view. The page content stays in place for comparison.
Return to the shelf
After a full reload, both PDFs remain in the local library. Materials and Sound reopens with its original diagrams and text.
Compare the reading modes
Actual browser session using original authored PDFs. Browser storage can be cleared or evicted; keep the original PDFs.
