Over time the Mac App Store will become the primary way Mac users purchase their software. Unfortunately this is a marketplace that Rocketbox will not be allowed into.

KF: Opera has been a great partner and has really helped us get this going within their huge user base.  To some degree, our current customers reflect the distribution of Opera Mini users.  Many of these are in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia and Russia, where the mobile phone is the primary means of accessing the Internet for many people.  However, we are seeing a lot of traffic from North America and Western Europe as well.  User engagement – measured in visits per user and page views per visit – is strong around the world.

Frequency and Volume enables participants to tune into and listen to different radio frequencies by using their own bodies. A computerised tracking system detects participants' shadows, which are projected on a wall of the exhibition space. The shadows scan the radio waves with their presence and position, while their size controls the volume of the signal. The piece can tune into any frequency between 150 kHz and 1.5 GHz, including air traffic control, FM, AM, short wave, cellular, CB, satellite, wireless telecommunication systems and radio navigation.
