N.A.G. (Network Auralization for Gnutella) shifts the process of searching for and to download MP3 files into a baffling musical collage. It can be called as an interactive software art. The user has to just type in one or more search keywords, and N.A.G. looks for matches on the Gnutella peer-to-peer file-sharing network. MP3 files which match the search keyword(s) are the downloaded by the software and these audio files are remixed in real time based on the structure of the Gnutella network itself. N.A.G. (Network Auralization for Gnutella) is a 2003 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts for its Turbulence web site.
