The online world is a large space almost without limit. Like the vast universe, it has no boundary. And if the universe is full of space junk, meteoroids, machine debris, spaceship scraps, and satellite wreckage; the cyberspace too is no different with unnecessary information, broken links, fake news, spam, and disused websites. They float in cyberspace without our knowing. But one day a spam could be a meteorite that crashes into your computer!
Online space has today become one of our conditions. Internet is part of most of everyone's daily life, a parallel to our reality. Every individual has the ability to produce information and releases it to the internet boundless landscape. Abundance information runs through one's brain until the information is overloaded. This creates an effect that when one is faced with swift alteration of situations, or something out of ordinary, one would have lower ability to make speculations. That he/she can no longer assess what is a reasonable conduct or what is trustworthy. (Future Shock, Alvin Toffler, published by Random House., 1970, US.)
The interest and the irritation of such information overload leads to this artistic exploration of finding possibilities to transcribe and digest online junks using computer programs. The result is 'music,' a disarranged composition with no skill, coming from each individual's attitudes and biases. Although this process will not beat information, but it at least will transform a perception into temporary entertainment. Or could it be, in the end, only a newly formed garbage pile.
