The Constellations interface is a custom made program designed for the project. A planetary solar system rendered real time in 3D provides the visual interface. The gallery visitor navigates in this space by gliding the mouse - moving through the planets, zooming in and out. This is connected to a network audio capability to stream and mix multiple sound files from the internet. Each planet represents a link to a soundfile URL. Soundfiles from contributing composers reside on different servers distributed throughout the world. These sounds are in MP3 (MPEG I Layer 3) format, and stream in real time into the gallery.
