A compendium of ordinary, mundane, and just plain random images and words capturing the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 500 files and 5000 words were received from various locations including the states of Massachusetts, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Georgia, and from outside of the US, New Zealand and Japan.

Outside of video and audio content, every word and image was used in some way (though maybe distorted to an unrecognizable degree in some instances).

This project is supported in part by a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and the City of Boston.
