Remember those early days back in the Spring of 2020 when the world stopped? When we were paralyzed by fear and policy? A new documentary, COVID E-LIT: Digital Art During the Pandemic, produced by Anna Nacher, Søren Bro Pold, Scott Rettberg and Ashleigh Steele,
follows sixteen digital artists’ experiences of the early COVID-19 pandemic throughout the United States, South America, and Europe. Through interviews with each artist, the documentary explores how measures taken to control the pandemic affected their artistic practice, ability to engage collaborators and audiences, daily life, and – most crucially – the subjects of the art they produced.
