Ages 18 and up
3–24 April 2023
6–8pm EST, Mondays
Oriented around meme practices and theories of memetics, mnemonics, and mimesis, this class involves readings across cognitive science, communications, and philosophy of mind as well as practical explorations of meme creation and the performance of social media(tion) as artistic, political, and theoretical praxis. We will establish a class meme account to collectively share our work, and explore a wide range of meme accounts, investigating how “image+text” formats, social scores, and “viral” phenomena interface with our senses of identity, social belonging, meaning-making and reality-construction.
This class will be held virtually.
