The alternation in the concept of place on the internet is regarding to be a tool to reconstruct a sense of place – a subjective quality determines by individuals. Focusing on the nature of online communication, we may say social interaction is a key to create the sense of place in the online activity.

With an intention to promote social interaction among passengers, the installation aimed to re-establish the sense of place by facilitating an indirect communication, where the people could share their dreams with the others.
