Des artistes et des chercheurs créent des oeuvres qui ne peuvent exister que si elles sont alimentées par des sources extérieures. En retour, elles offrent un ou plusieurs signaux que les autres auteurs peuvent à leur tour utiliser. Chaque participant reçoit des flux du réseau qu'il est libre d'utiliser, ignorer, détourner. En échange, il doit renvoyer au réseau ses propres flux. Ainsi, la création se nourrit du flux, de l'échange d'un flux non pas préexistant mais produit par d'autres artistes qui acceptent de le partager. Il s'agit donc d'un réseau de création Peer to Peer par opposition à un réseau de consommation P2P. Ces échanges sont permis grâce à la mise en place d'une plateforme technologique innovante "the art collider", qui permet l’échange en temps réel de flux (vidéo, son, données…). Le projet privilégie une approche open source.
