2. Description

 This work is based on changes in the nucleotide sequence of the novel coronavirus declared a pandemic in March 2020. The sequence AAGAA represents a fragment of this genome and was identified by recent research in Korea as a motif within the SARS-CoV-2 sequence (see: : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420304062). This motif provides an important clue to understanding certain peculiarities in the viral genetic replication process, such as abnormal fusion, deletion, and frame shifts.

These phenomena arise from biochemical mechanisms whose causes remain unknown. They belong to the everyday operations of a microscopic ecology—an invisible world that exists within all living organisms yet remains beyond human perception. This work attempts to overturn the everyday life of humans through the everyday dynamics of this micro-ecology. At its core is a mutational design applied to the playback of recorded human voice samples. The sound samples are fragmented into extremely small units, to which the mutational characteristics identified in the AAGAA motif are arbitrarily applied.

 Through the irregular manipulation of sonic particles, the work seeks to reveal the presence of an otherwise invisible world. The incomplete arrangement of the human voice—often regarded as a marker of human identity—is read, translated, and reassembled through the everyday logic of the virus. In doing so, the work raises questions about a worldview that has long been interpreted primarily from a human-centered perspective.
