This is what we made

A series of non-sequential pages. We updated bits of these as and when we could. They didn't change in order, so people re-loaded pages to follow the flow of the event.

Start refrigerating. The Big Chill is on the web
Keep the temperature low. More Chilling Web
The Rope has been Climbed. Chilled Angels of Disorder
The Lingerie Pose-athon up in all their glory
Scanning the web with Robin Rimbaud
With .au format sound sample
(Which we can't actually hear ourselves, because of the volume from Ben's interactive music installation. That, and the lack of a spare audio output.)
Our Last. We're shagged. But credit the Internet for letting us do this.
