Love Virus is a group of artists who are members of Love Virus Paper-zines of the blog-inspired, popular mini-hompage service in Korea called Cyworld. Love Virus was started in August 2004 with artists from various artistic disciplines such as photography, moving image, interactive art, performance, and even painting. They showcase daily posts to make new ways of relationship. Love Virus 2.0 and 3.0 were launched in 2005.
