It was dark in Paradiso in early August 1989. The light of computer screens created a blue fluorescent mood. Off to the right-hand side, in the middle of the floor of the main hall, we had built 'the cockpit', a collection of all kinds of computers, which would be able to facilitate all the connections we were planning. It was lit by one light bulb which was hanging down from the high ceiling of the former church Paradiso. Above the stage there was a screen, to show 'connections' live.
