About

This video was created while in quarantine in Beijing in April 2020. It was a time we were all incessantly tracking the spreading of the virus on a global map. Thomas Eller retrieved the full genome of an early variant of the SarsCoV 19-Virus from an open-source webpage and attempted to read out loud its DNA-base-code which is 29903 characters long. In the time span it would take a human to read the code, a virus in real-life would be replicating many times over. This video is best video using headphones for a spatial audio experience.
