This sound artwork seeks to examine how the internet, as a site for interaction, dissolves convention, with regard to the shape, boundary, structure and location of media. 

Through the graphical interface the user/participant can influence the parameters of a sound data generator, effecting things like sound colour, density and complexity. The impact of the change can be seen on the interface by other users visiting at the same time, in another place and they may also mutually interfere through the interface, in order to change the generation of sound.

"I see artworks as a direct means of communication, a function which connects, separates, differentiates etc. Meaning the artwork is not an object, which is (re)presented, but something that creates presence between people (actors, participants)."
