At the URL body site a body icon evolves its form to the frequency of visits to Stelarc's website.

Log files of the entire website mutate the VRML code which defines the body icon while, for the sake of comparison, another icon remains unchanged. Each VRML cell or limb, for the moment arbitrarily linked to a page within the stelarc site, is mutable according to that page's log file statistics.

Currently, speed and direction of rotation, shape of limbs, and body colour/transparency reflect the log files. New behaviours and changing attributes will be added in future.

The body's icon, recording and visualising the ebbs and flows of interest in different nodes, allows URL passers-by to leave a reconfigured trace of their visit.
