Carrier investigates viral symbiosis in the biological and virtual  domains by weaving an intimate
love story between the viewer and the hepatitis C virus. The site integrates artificial and viral
intelligence with immune system and computer operating system discourse within the swarming
electronically networked nervous system of our planet- the world wide web, immersing the viewer in
vrml worlds, shockwave games and java generated textual landscapes.
