Two
networked machines, one infected with a virus, slowly infects
the other through the interface of classic romantic poetry.
A
breakdown in the relationship was inevitable once the virus had
seeped into the memory of one machine and then into the other
through a singular network cable affecting the poetic text files.
Communication between the two deteriorated, leading to irrational
& at times odd behaviour. Each machine reacted with equal
confusion and conflict. The interface text became an illegible
poetic mutation of itself.
