The migration from analogue to digital broadcasting at the end of 2008 freed most of the frequency bands previously used for airing TV programs, marking a signi­ficant transformation of media and the end of analogue broad­casting. Creating a scenario of public engagement, the visitor through riding the bicycle facilitates a low power signal within the now redundant band broadcasted out into the local vicinity of the museum. The signal consists of an animation generated by a small computer running Flood Fill, an algorithm that renders an animation of black and white pixels appearing almost as alignment of the snow-like fuzz received when the channel is dormant.
