Abstract
Behind the Scenes is an immersive audio walk that invites you to explore and uncover what's behind the internet infrastructure. We are perpetually connected to the network and to each other. But how does the internet work? How does it really work? And what makes it work? This immersive journey helps you see the invisible, hear the unheard and feel the intangible. The guided audio journey assigns the visitor a central role that requires you to interact and engage with a handful of physical artefacts on display, all of which are instrumental to the internet. With the help of headphones and a smartphone, the spatial story plays out on the premises of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich explaining the history and purpose of some network components, as well as the political forces driving changes in the global internet system.
