It is a play or a way to interact with the eyes and fingers simultaneously - now even better than before; a kind of a trial or a way to give it a try. The computer is an ideal medium to discover reaction and how one can function when it comes to things which one cannot always find elsewhere in the same place on the Net. The hypnotizing sound of the machine and the flashy images make one wonder - one becomes an innocent foreigner all over again. Its about being on-line. To be on-line or not to be on-line. Having a possibility to go over the line and to know the difference, and when it will finally be all over. Real-time (which means rather much now) is like the world being revealed without one realizing it. A way to be away. Never knowing what happens next until it does - and then it is always too late, anyway, to do anything about it.
