The Covid Box

The Covid Box is a visual coding project. We are all confined within borders in 2020 as if we are in a box. In this work, the boxes are randomised, just like the chance of getting the virus. But the size, colour and animation speed of the boxes correlate to the UK’s daily Covid case number and the rate of change. Shapes that resemble a cross loom in the center from time to time. Over time, the boxes weave into a complex ghostly pattern. The animation varies day by day based on the latest Covid data.
