New Memefest book
There is a good vibe and exciting time at Memefest right now. After months and months of hard work we are in the finishing phase of Memefest book. We are planing to put it to print next week. It's gonna be a fantastic piece of work, i can promise. Edited and curated content from all past Memefest's as well as new original content will be published in book form for the first time. Cca 500 pages of theory, art, design, examples of radical communication practice and Memefest insights, printed in full color.
One of the artists that collaborated with us in the past is Katie Bush. I am a big fan of her work. We asked her to create a cover for the book and she did. Psychedelic pixelart meets the thin line of subversive humor/seriously surprising narrative.
Here's just a detail from the image Katie sent me today. Have a look at her website for more of her work: www.katiebushart.com and check the project she received a Memefest award for: www.destroyevil.com.
We will write more about the book and create a special website soon.
Thank's a lot Katie!!!

Hey, welcome to the official Memefest blog!
Since 2003 we have been using a blog platform as tactical media to reflect, critique, comment and inform around the broad field of communication. Now in 2010 with our newly conceived on-line platform we hope that through time this space will evolve in a collaborative blog media with a wider group of contributors to the global discourse around social responsibility of media and communication. Stuff that you can find here is either original or carefully and originally edited from other sources. There is a good chance that you will find things that will be of good use for you too if you follow us more regularly.
Of course we look at Memeblog as a dialogic platform. Your comments are encouraged and mostly welcome.
If you feel like collaborating in this: drop us a line: memefest at memefest dot org.
