Matt Whistler on the stuff memes are made of

Memes, memes, memes. The talking orange, the cats with bread around their heads, the Techno Viking, the baby in stitches at tearing paper. There are dire consequences to filming a meme, kids getting run over by trains according to South Park.

The Old Long Johnson cat is storming the internet and the surfboarding seagull is reaching astronomical heights. According to Wikipedia a meme is a unit of culture, our devolved concentration span has moved from full feature length to short film, to dinky meme videos whizzing round cyber space. Can we film shorter, three seconds perhaps, call it a blip, right blippers get blipping away, blip blip blip.

Come and see my Trip Out Show at the Phoenix Theatre in Lewes 20 April 7.15. Bring popcorn and dress as a chicken.
Mobile phone strictly permitted… it’s a sort of meme workshop without the felt tip pens and crayons. More ballistic missiles and bags of polystyrene balls.
