short, sweet, and (kinda) artsy
masooch94 on Hello hello. Looks like this week we progressed from memes to Art. Net art. Digital art. Electronic art. I’m not gonna lie, this will probably be a relatively short post this week, mainly because we didn’t really have a Big Project to work on over the week. So here I am, with a few DDAs and an anecdote about digital art and electronic literature. here u go uwu Let’s get started. So in class last week we had a lovely chat […]

field guide attempt 0.4
masooch94 on Before I get into anything, I just wanna say that yes, I am sort of neglecting the field guide prompt for this week’s post. I just… It’s not often that you find a pure beam of wholesome light on the internet and I just Need to share it with y’all. This morning (or maybe it was yesterday,,, the days are blurring in that way that only mid-semester days can,,,) in my Daily News Twitter scrolling, between a text meme and […]

we love stories in this house
masooch94 on Hello friends! For those who had spring break, hope you had a good one. I’m certainly still in vacation mode, so I’m gonna try my best here. We had a lovely conversation last week about memes and I’m pretty sure that’s the most lengthy and coherent commentary I’ve voluntarily given in a class in years. Character development or bout of confidence fueled by thoughts of the impending spring break and caffeine? My money’s on the latter. We also made memes […]

But What Does it All Really Meme????
Well, well, well… If I’m not back at it again discussing memes. Have I ever left the conversation??? My Make Making Meme-ing Okay I’ll stop So, you may have guessed it already, but this week’s class topic was memes. We spent most of class discussing what memes are, what memes can be, what memes we interact with (if we do interact with them at all), and how memes can be used online. I spent most of class trying not to open my big mouth on the subject […]

masooch94 on Ah yes, the biggest meme trend that I have vehemently subscribed to. Self-deprecation and destruction. Which is why I nearly cackled out loud when I saw Why millennials are making memes about wanting to die in the list of additional meme info sources on the meme page in NetNarr’s Book of Stuff. Reading through it, the first thing that caught my eye was Dadaism. So, firstly, shout out to Kelli. Please see her and her posts for more intelligent commentary and […]

The Lifespan of Memes~
This too shall pass~ Or will it???? Hey~ So, in the course of working on my thesis, I’ve read a lot of articles and research studies about memes. Some articles focus on the spread and replication of memes through a system while others focus on the sociocultural impact of the meme and its semantic and communicative applications. Very boring stuff. Not the topic–the writing on the topic. It’s almost like mimetic researchers have something to prove… Anyway, rather than bore you with some of those […]

Five Meme Story? Say No More~
Really, say no more. Never do this to us again. Creating A Narrative Across Memes It sounds like a fun and inventive idea but bruh, this was not easy. Memes are these concise, little story units unto themselves and combining them is not a simple task. Even trying to get meme templates to “jive” with each other is challenging. Also, I find it difficult to superimpose another meaning atop a meme with a strong context of it own, especially if that meaning […]

Putting the Pieces Together…???
“Dada Dada Dada, a roaring of tense colors, and interlacing of opposites and of all contradictions, grotesques, inconsistencies: LIFE.” ~ Tristan Tzara Uncovering the Story The story I want to tell is one I’ve been assembling the pieces of for a while now. Ever since my first interactions with ELit, specifically with works by Jason Nelson, Juliet Davis, and Porpentine, I feel like there has been this story developing. Between then and now, that tale has existed in a kind of in […]

What Does It All Meme????
Tbh, I’m going to miss our discussions on digital art~ The Gif that Just Keeps on Giving Before I get into my reflection on digital art, I want to talk about our last hurrah for the Make Bank. This week, we used what we learned from last week’s experimentation with Giphy to make two different kinds of gifs which I pronounce with a soft g like in graphic image format fight me. The first make asked us to gif a process. Of course, I chose […]

My Gifs to You~
Despite this week’s many technical difficulties on campus, this is not what actually happened though I thought about it…. Myself along with the rest of the goody-2-shoes class that showed up this week did stay for a crash course in gifs and their creation~ The Gif of Gifs (Okay, I’m done) This week we explored the animated gif. Though we didn’t spend much time discussing the creative form in the classroom, we did watch a short clip of a movie that is […]

who needs JOBS when u have SELFIES and MEMES, said every millennial ever
i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited for this week's class. last class proved to be engaging, both in conversation and creation, as we explored memes. tomorrow, we get to take on the selfie culture. the real reason i'm looking forward to the discussion is because this is the culture my peers have created with the technology we've been given - i want to hear what people have to say about these forms of expression in a more […]

Memed Out~
Tbh, I kind of never want to hear the word “meme” again. Anyway…. MEMES Credit @stryii~ In class this week, we explored the fascinating world of meme-making and meme-meaning-making(?)~ In order to accomplish that, we had to descend into the depths of those dank memes I hate myself. We got our hands dirty making our own memes. The Make Bank gave our creative selves some direction, though. More, it provided some purpose to why we were exploring memes as well as some ideas about […]

Selfie-Reflecting~
(I’ve rocked a few regrettable interesting looks, huh???) Images are moments and if moments are experiences, then what experience does the “selfie” capture? What is the selfie? What does it represent? Society Says…. Well, that depends. When it comes to social perceptions, the selfie, like most new digital media, typically gets a bad rep. What did you think society would say??? According to one article in Jezebel, by Erin Gloria Ryan, “Selfies aren’t empowering; they’re a high tech reflection of the f*cked up way society […]

The Network Effect and other little things.
richonda on MEMES & GIFS You thought I was going to start with the Network Effect site didn’t you? Hehe, sorry no, but if you haven’t checked it out please do. Click here. Within the past week, the class was asked to create some of our own media content. It was a fun experience, especially seeing what my other classmates were able to curate, and even replying to their gifs with more gifs. I will link to some of my favorite memes […]
