Spit Spreads Death was a one day interactive parade of light and sound remembered the individuals who lost their lives after the Liberty Loan Parade on September 28 1918.<\/p>\n

On that day in 1918, over 200,000 people crowded along Broad Street to cheer a line of marchers stretching over two miles. Some 20,000 people lost their lives due to the flu pandemic that spread due to the parade.<\/p>\n

I worked with Blast Theory and M\u00fctter Museum to create a collection of websites and web applications.\u00a0 These applications allowed a participant to select a person to represent in the parade, guided participants before and after the parade, and showed names and played audio during the parade.<\/p>\n

The web apps were created using React and Node.js, with the main website using WordPress.<\/p>\n

The parade was a single day event, with many months of preparation and planning, with an emphasis on the technology being ultra-reliable.<\/p>\n

The web apps are no longer available due to this being a one day event.\u00a0 These websites record the day.<\/p>\n
