reflects the 40 030.174 kilometer spanning sphere of the world into the numbers of a virtual matrix on a harddisk. It´s databace contains more than 3 million populated places that are located on the earth´s surface. If one targets with a launch-software one of these locations from another one, a sphere becomes shot onto an orbit around the virtual double of the world. A sphere that is flying with 660 km per hour will orbit the earth in 60.65177 hours (=2.527 days), meanwhile passing through Ø 250 populated places, that are located in Ø 14 14 different countries of the earth. If it passes a location that lays on it´s calculated route, it enters synchroneously from the virtual into the natural reality. The impaction of a sphere is a short and vehement event. It is predicted by a countdown. The sphere´s seismic waves provoce quakes, which arrive at the exhibition place in multiple phases and effect all accessible displays.
