communication network
roaming populations and physical access to nodes
people as packets
redist. of data
people as infrastruct.
heterotopia: displacement
time not of one's own
theatres, prototypes of the heterotopia
projection of alternative realities
global theatre, global information network.
infrastructure which already contains people. Subway systems, sic.
how to use flow in network to redistrib. experiences from nonlocal events
theatre types.
scales, types
existing subway
information tied to other network systems distributed onto subway platform
information tied to place [ locative media]
time delay on recordings on site
'Calculate a future action...'
maybe ready to go beyond the subway alone. Public spaces; not just global network for communication,
but also possibly refuge. Can we be too exposed to things.

diagram of infected cells in body, the interconnection between cells
how cells have their way of acting-
in infection cells have influence over a particular area.
area of influence

Viruses
how such a small entity can affect a larger one
virus entering cell, life cycle of virus
several methods to enter cell. Loses cover, touches host cell, releases RNA,
then reforms cover, leaves cell.
other method, loses cover when inside host
diagram of virus taking over cell
UN HQ in NYC as site
UN system hierarchy breakdown;
UN WHO as host. Health organization.
merging MSF, CDC, etc
research facility, also helping to make people aware of worldwide health problems.
project attached to UN;
fragments of buildings, each with some program
within them a virus which alters program within building, enhances it
act together with other buildings
as a virus it doesn't know where you are going, not a direct path
also spreads in landscape.
research facility, labs with incubation
auditorium with reception
gallery with offices
tourism part important
this creating path thru building
enters building in two ways.
hits existing building, loses shell and then infecting building
other way, it is a new building, so virus affects form
