Do you want the art controlled by the internet as in the internet
provides 'random' data or do you want actual control over the internet
eg. move left, red light on?
If you want actual control packet level is too deep for your needs, TCP
and above would be better. If you want random data use the seq and ack
numbers from the packets (they are 32 bit numbers).

Everyone is right you cant capture every packet from the internet, if
you could there would be no debate about privacy for one. You could
create an application that browsers random websites to get a flow of
packets that your PC could handle.
