Leading the audience on a visual representationn of the digital landscape inside the Internet. Unlocking a world where the difference between fact and fiction becomes blurred. Revealing the cyber land, where the confines of reality are no more. The Intergalactic Network uses visual and audio representations through projection mapping, and 3D sound to explore the hidden realm of signals, protocols and the dark efficiency of such a machine. Can a network with so many endless possibilities be controlled? Look deep into the dark reaches of the World Wide Web, and see what secrets it has install for us.
