The exhibition's gallery walls are intentionally reconfigurable, with the ability to be stored inside a data cabinet to represent the collecting and archiving of information, or scattered around to symbolize the transmission and exchange of data, mirroring the internet's process in an analog way. The resulting layout is the collective output of many contributors, including artists, curators, visitors, critics, volunteers, builders, and art handlers. A miniature model of the entire gallery is also on display to help viewers understand the exhibition's underlying mechanism and encourage interaction among a larger group.

To encourage engagement and discussion, a cloud-based social platform is provided for visitors to share their thoughts on the exhibition and artworks via their smartphones. Each artwork is associated with a QR code that directs to a database where user-generated comments are collected. A printer is also available for visitors to print out their comments as a keepsake.
