Buildings and towns are the crystallization of people’s designs. On the contrary, war and terrorism mean the destruction of such crystallized designs. When it was founded, BAUHAUS, which is committed to design, declared the ultimate goal of figurative arts to be "architecture". This word "architecture" is considered to connote the environment. Producing an environment where people can lead a humane life; this is what we consider design to be. Will the coming 100 years become a century of design or of war? How should designers link with society in the new world called the "network"? This is what we need to consider.

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver run by thousands of people all over the world. It can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.

A robot armada has been unleashed into the night sky. Its ships are unmanned interplanetary probes that fly faster than you will ever go, and cross distances you can't even imagine. But with nothing more than an Internet connection, you can go with them, catching sights that are as real—and as beautiful—as they are strange.

SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is a scientific area whose goal is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. One approach, known as radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology. Radio telescope signals consist primarily of noise (from celestial sources and the receiver's electronics) and man-made signals such as TV stations, radar, and satellites. Modern radio SETI projects analyze the data digitally. More computing power enables searches to cover greater frequency ranges with more sensitivity. Radio SETI, therefore, has an insatiable appetite for computing power. Previous radio SETI projects have used special-purpose supercomputers, located at the telescope, to do the bulk of the data analysis. In 1995, David Gedye proposed doing radio SETI using a virtual supercomputer composed of large numbers of Internet-connected computers, and he organized the SETI@home project to explore this idea. SETI@home was originally launched in May 1999.
