The Pandemicon is a contemporary surveillance assemblage. It emerges when a pandemic disease forces the State to use novel forms of governance and control, such as curfews, quarantines, health testing, tracking cell phone data, border closures, etc. The measures are not new, but they are only brought together in this way during a pandemic, and often outlive the disease itself.
