Viral Culture: The Rise of the Meme


In this salon we will question cultural phenomena such as the meme that have arisen in the age of social media. Some of the questions we will discuss might include: Do memes have meaning? What do memes say about our digital culture? What does it mean to "go viral"? Is viral culture inherently more judgmental? Do trends come and go much faster in the internet era and if so what are the implications? 

This salon is by invitation only.
