Class 04 – Networking Echelon is a larger project among a number of western countries. Echelon is the worldwide signals intelligence network run by the US National Security Agency and the UK Government Communications Headquarters in collaboration with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Echelon uses large ground-based radio antennae in the United States, Italy, the UK, Turkey, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and several other countries to intercept satellite transmissions and some surface traffic, as well as employing satellites to tap transmissions between cities. From Simon Biggs’s artist statement

Class 04 – Networking Simon Biggs creates an artwork using the same name - Echelon It simply employs all the words stored in the Echelon system in a program that automatically generates texts using whatever dictionary it has available. Whenever a user moves their mouse over a text it will automatically re-write itself as a new text. It will then that text to a random address (this last ing component of the work is currently disabled, but will be enabled by the artist at the appropriate time - the effect will be to flood the net with echelon sensitive messages at the rate of hundreds per minute, depending on user interaction). From Simon Biggs’ artist statement
