The website informs, how interactivity is realized: «Navigating through the following web-pages You will select the sounds to be used in this live performance. Each of these pages is linked with a certain track of an audio-CD specially produced for this event. So if You select a page you start the corresponding track of the CD. If you access our server, a traceroute routine will be started automatically, analyzing the route of Your connection. This information will be mapped into MIDI-commands controlling our soundsamplers. Thus each machine involved in your link to our server will get an ‹acoustical signation›. This traces of Your network activity will be ‹mapped› on a 12-channel audio system. Resulting in an acoustical map of the electronic space which constitutes out of Your interactivity.»
