Covidilant
Covidilant is a mini public service announcement designed to remind us about what’s important: Wash, keep distance and wear a mask is the mantra of the animation. It is time to care for others and suppress the notion of individuality for the protection of everyone in society during the pandemic in order to control the spread and not overwhelm our social systems and hospitals. Formatted for social media distribution, this piece fits in any form and looks great on mobile devices too.
Primarily interested in society and the commons, Karin’s art and writing take inspiration from Mikhail Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World and Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle. She enjoys poking fun at society, celebrity, politics and entitlement using pastiche, satire and parody as her tools.
Karin began her professional career as an interpretive Illustrator in 1997, specializing in publishing and advertising. In 2000 she began working as a graphic designer for print media, focusing on business branding and educational book publishing. Shortly after, she added web design, copywriting and social media to her portfolio.
Karin is currently exploring interactive art after completing a B.A. in Multimedia at McMaster University.
