"DriftNet" is connecting to World Wide Web.
At first "DriftNet" accesses the Web site of Hachioji City where Tama Art University is in. The first Web site is chosen depending on the location of the exhibition site.

displaying the URL and download condition.

After download, the data is being displayed in hexadecimal format without encoding.

The data changes its formation as wave and surges to audience.
The volume of the wave is defined with the downloaded data capacity.

The screen shot of the web site is covering the surface of the wave as texture. So the web site is decomposed into abstract color element and generates unlimited variation of wave appearance.

The motion of audience is analized and conveyed to the wave as the vector of the plural forces with location, direction and integer value.
So the audience is able to interact with data-wave without any device or physical limitation. It doesn't differ from dabbling in the actual beach.
It is realized by original program with OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library).

When the wave is moved more than a fixed speed, the link from URL which generated wave comes to the surface.

When the fixed time has passed since the first link floated, the wave fades-out and "DriftNet" chooses the next URL. The URL which is nearest from center of floor is chosen as next URL. At this time, audience can't control the behavior of "DriftNet".
It is only a decision by the condition of the wave as the result of accumulation of audience action.

And "DriftNet" accesses the web site and downloads the data. And data-wave surges to audience again.

By repeat of this process, "DriftNet" and audience will keep on drifting on WWW.
