The graphic representation of the genome sequence of the Sars-CoV-2 virus is to be interpreted as a graphic score for a time-based artwork.
There are no specifications regarding the media in which the work can be realised. The score only specifies the time grid and the arrangement of the layers.
Each coloured block is an element that must be distinguishable from other elements.
The superimposed elements are simultaneous: just as in a graphic score.
There are also no prescriptions about the duration of the work. However, the temporal proportions must correspond exactly to the graphic arrangement in the score.
