Eugene used the internet and its many tools to communicate with audiences during the programme. The second offering took the form of a google drive folder. This shared folder was the artist’s ‘online work desk’ for the project and contained his thoughts, writings and research material. Audiences were invited leave their own comments and questions behind.

Final Exhibition
Over four months and across three offerings, Eugene asked himself and others - how would you like to be remembered after you're gone? One of his own answers was a work-in-progress presented in the final exhibition - the GraveApp, a high-tech grave system. An app to create virtual tombstones. Ticket holders were invited to a private appointment with the artist, where they had an opportunity to chat with him and try the GraveApp.
His past works and other works-in-progress were also featured in a small exhibition, which was opened to the public for a weekend.
