Pouring a bucket of water over a plant and reading aloud 20 minutes of internet use draws a connection between one oversaturation with another.

An audience observed a bucket of water being poured over a plant both before and after an approximately 10 minute session of watching someone using the internet.

The audience was left alone in the room with the computer halfway through. An audience alone looking at a computer reflects the network we interact with, alone, together
