The aquarium dons as a kind of headspace, akin to a screen, a virtual landscape, like all those early computer screensavers of video fish aquaria so popular -  digital pets softening new digital homes - google styled images rising to its watery surface completing the analogy of Vonna-Michell's networked images always representing their "interactivity" more than what they depict, again all manifestations of the digital without digital. Like a computer monitor left on in an otherwise abandoned and echoing building (sound-tracked to the sounds of empty night) the glowing object claims some illuminated significance that connotes but doesn't necessarily mean but just gives a screen to look into and empty.
