Combining Art with function the piece was to be a 'Game'. It is placed in the staff restaurant of the company headquarters.
The company internet number is represented by the number of tiles in each cloud... the company logo of a journeying boat is included.There are several technical details hidden in the piece including many representations of the ‘www’ symbol and representations of a computer network and tcp handshaking.
The piece measures 2.7m × 0.9m and the materials used are Coloured and Iridescent Artglass and glass beads as featured in 'Mosaic techniques and traditions' by Sonia King, and 'The Mosaic Decorators Sourcebook' by Rosalind Waters.
