Coronovirus Bot

art language code

The morning after researchers released the Coronavirus genome, I whipped together this bot to tweet it out, base-pair by base-pair. The genome is really short (like 24,000 base-pairs!) so I figured it would take about 17 days to tweet the whole thing out, and why not do just that?

It was covered by The Harvard Technology Review as one of three projects from code-based artists that approached the COVID outbreak.
