The Age of Memes is a visual journey into the world of the funny images that have forever changed the way people communicate on the Internet. The exhibition presents popular examples from Bulgaria and abroad such as memes with cats, politicians and iconic characters from the popular culture. The topic is further explored in the context of the digital age and the communication revolution, where the meme is seen both as a tool for self-expression and as an instant commentary on what is happening around us. The exhibition design concept aims to convey the feeling of dynamics, speed and visual richness typical for the online experiences. The exhibition space is divided in four thematic areas marked by colors from the visual identity of the project.
