Virionis
a computer-generated piece in which various sets of data relating to the
current Covid-19 pandemic are requested from an API website and utilised to
create an audiovisual composition. When
a country is requested to this API, data about the country’s handling of the
virus is received. Using max msp/jitter and javascript,
the number of cases, deaths and tests per one million people for a given
country is extracted and utilised to create three abstract audiovisual
representations of the data. The API website
is updated regularly, so this piece is consistently changing, relative to
real-world events.
