Hungover from radical doses of branding and commercial information
lately, we, the organizers of Memefest, have decided to help Slovenian
and global youth fight the power while celebrating their strengths
and talents.
As a “festival or radical communication”, Memefest sets
out to explore the power that our disseminated ideas memes have
to spin the social fabric. By encouraging the creation and dispersion
of beneficial memes, we
hope that we may bring some balance back into a brand-crazy
world.
Last year, we called out those gifted in the fields of Communications,
Sociology and Design to respond to a text on branding. You can view
the resulting mayhem in our visual gallery. Memefest
2003 challenges
writers to confront Thomas Frank’s text on cooption of dissent
and visual artists to represent a “rethink” of their roles
according to the principles of the First
Things First Manifesto. For
those who need a little more, we have provided a space to go Beyond… and
innovate radical communications models which fall completely outside
of the commercial paradigm.
Whether you try your hand in the competition or are just cruising
around, you’re welcome to give us some necessary feedback
Subvert, Create, Enjoy!
