Further concepts for the COP practical outcome

 

Practical concepts for COP

  • Meme playing cards - like Pokemon cards where the user can interact 
  • Some kind of game like cards against humanity but with political memes? 
  • A publication that replicates how you scroll through instagram; gets more chaotic with pop up adds as you 'scroll'?
  • A zine exploring the 'notion of absurdism'; super random images with text that doesn't correlate 
  • Out of context images; relating to the 'cute cat theory of digital activism'; cut cat photos/ drawings with blunt text/ manifestos 
  • Reinventing satire with more personal references; starter pack zine?
  • Shitposts and political text
  • Posterzine format?
  • A physical zine with slots where the user can put in their own images; create their own memes
  • Getting people to create their own staire/ political cartoons; you pass the book on like a meme being shared
  • Create a meme inspired typeface; combining papyrus and comic sans 
  • Something that the user adds to then is passed on
  • The format could be like MS paint; uses imagery from old Microsoft to celebrate the origins of the internet
  • Type a tweet?
  • Could be a QR code to a link to a meme page; all of the drawings in the book get sent to the meme page making a collaborative meme account 
  • The goal of translating memes into printed matter; challenging the fast paced nature of the internet with something more tangible 
  • Blur out politicians faces so people can draw on them
  • The narrative of the book could follow the process of logging onto a computer; starts as a lock screen then the user logs into twitter/ instagram; the instagram page could be a massive long tip in where the user has to 'scroll' 
  • Explore peoples short attention span; how long do we spend looking at memes?
