Visual Culture Online | Off Book | PBS Arts

[Sesarrbg]

I used to make documentaries like them... but then I took an arrow to the knee...

[laughingfurry]

I'm surprised Newgrounds and Newgrounds born content wasn't mentioned. Sure, it has games and naughty bits. However, Newgrounds is loaded with talented animators and some very well done music, among various other great content. Clock Crew, Lock Legion, Numa Numa, and sprite videos are but a FEW great examples. As for music, they range from frenetic experimentation to beautiful tributes. Newgrounds is one of the sites that began Online Avant Garde and I say it deserves some mention.

[TheHatman32]

Visual Culture Online?

[teh1337zlot]

What the fuck is dump.fm, and who was that tool who was talking about it? Why were none of the .gifs he showed funny or well known? I'm generally assuming they dug this guy out of the trash of the early 2000's when they realized they couldn't get a hold of moot.

[moralreef]

@teh1337zlot i found them funny. and who cares if they're well known?

[teh1337zlot]

@moralreef Kind of the whole point of meme culture is well known images and videos?

[moralreef]

@teh1337zlot well if you've noticed this doc not just about memes, its about digital imagery and internet art and culture in general.

[moralreef]

@teh1337zlot see memes kind of has connotations to the whole trollface/4chan stuff, and not necessarily linked to visual things, while dump.fm is outside of that completely operating on a more art-related conception.

[BeNotNormal]

PBS just got 500% cooler in my book.

[Stevelord666]

Lol, I love how they make it seem like Tumblr, Dump, and Reddit have as much as influence over meme culture as 4chan. Obviously they know nothing of 4chan! I say! I do believe that I am mad, bro!

[Itachi21x]

u mad bro?

[BIPICY]

PBS, y u no funnyjunk? Funnyjunk has been around since 2001 as a leader of online visual arts including the likes of memes and "lolcats" and such.

[vtommy1]

Why is PBS so awesome? :D

[InternetArchaeology]

what about funnyjunk...

[Slagar10]

@CrazyChainsawFilms Is gay.

[CrazyChainsawFilms]

@Slagar10 it was also around before any other of the sites they mentioned...

[Slagar10]

@CrazyChainsawFilms That doesn't change the fact that it's gay.

Funnyjunk takes what was made by 4chan and then perverts it.

[abandonedgod]

PBS, Y U BIGGEST HIPSTER?

@offbook only applies to raids, and they never mentioned /b/

sure feels like summer in here

[sonikkuffffff]

i bet whoever originally drew these faces hate you newfags who jumped on the boat seven years too late. nobody likes this kind of "collabortative creation" shit. it's a blaring red flare signaling zero creativity zero effort and zero talent. nobody on 4chan likes the idea of taking someone else's content except newfags. old jokes aren't funny. get your own sense of humor.

[MultiSnowman888]

@sonikkuffffff u mad?

[Allexxx96Reloaded]

Memes are one of the best thing that happened to the internet

[laughingfurry]

@Allexxx96Reloaded

No, they aren't. People started doing the whole "trending" thing and act as though everything is a meme. Then they spam anything related to a "meme" where people don't understand it. That, in turn, causes trolling and hating. Fact is, most memes aren't well known.  They are often inside jokes that are only acceptable on a few sites. Badger Badger, Techno Viking, and Ronald McDonald Insanity are a few examples of this.

I still don't understand the apples in ice meme.

[buenavozalasdoce]

I dislike "Pop Culture" INTENSELY. Nevertheless I am grateful for the technology which has made it possible.

[APatrickM]

The forms of expression in this video are what will either pull the human race out of the funk it's in and lead to enlightenment, or it will turn us into poo flinging monkeys (as if were not already)

[TimothyRedburn]

Huh.... not comments. 

[MrTurtelmonk]

+100,000

[Qpelio]

I like to think of memes as inside jokes that are funny to everyone. If Antoine Dodson had warned the bed intruder 20 years ago, it would have only been noticed by the locals watching the show at the time, a joke shared among friends until it would be forgotten a few weeks later. Now, with the internet, if anyone sees something, or thinks of something, funny or interesting, it can be instantly accessible to everyone in the world.

[MrPeruanos]
