1. Coronation: a webcomic

   Coronation is a webcomic created by the Marino family using digital tools and platforms to document our experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since the beginning of the lockdown and the various homestay orders in Los Angeles, we have been creating and publishing one comic per day, five days a week, using a combination of digital tools, specifically filters and graphics applications. Images include photographs from our family albums, screenshots and downloads from Internet-based news sources, as well as original hand-drawn images created using digital tools. As the pandemic continues to sweep the globe, Coronation documents one family’s experience of the ups and downs of the Corona virus and the surrounding times, including the 2020 US Election and its ensuing drama and the Black Lives Matter protests. The comics are profoundly domestic and yet reflective of a global crisis, focusing on intimate family moments, transformed through digital tools into a visual expression of the ongoing homestay during a time of turmoil.

2. I Got Up 2020, Pandemic Edition

   I Got Up 2020, Pandemic Edition started as an Instagram series inspired by On Kawara’s 1968-79 daily postcard ritual. 

   This riff on artist On Kawara's 1968-1979 series "I Got Up" is a visible record of getting up while confined to the house and simultaneously enacting the roles of mother, artist, housekeeper, and teacher. While On Kawara sent daily postcards to friends, this project posts daily videos to Instagram through the course of isolating at home during the pandemic. These daily vignettes interpret “getting up” as unusually labor intensive—creative on the best days and merely possible on the worst. As a result of the quarantine, and the collapse of professional and domestic spaces, this series of getting up is a creative family adventure.
