Plague(iii) is a visual exploration of the spread of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in the Pacific Rim. Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies are used to structure data about the transmission of the H1N1 virus. This data is then plotted on the artwork, becoming spatial once again.
Part of a series The winter of my discontent, in Plague (iii) the virus acts as a metaphor for the distribution of ideas through communities. There is an underlying interest in the appreciation of everyday wisdom and decency and an exploration of how this philosophy fits into today's object-driven world.
It may seem like a ridiculous idea, but the only way to fight the plague is with decency - Albert Camus, 1947.
