Virus
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Magazine & Newspaper Design / Special Issues / 2021
Virus collects images from different public web cameras from New York. These images were captured during the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020, with cameras supervised every day to gather images from public spaces. The project explores the concept of viruses in all their forms, and raises questions about the ownership of our image, data, and privacy by taking screenshots of images of anonymous citizens. This exercise shows Times Square as its observation platform, one of the most representative elements of the capitalist society.
