Memes, irony, bizarre microtrends, and humor that people outside a particular online bubble usually cannot understand. Sebastian Šikl and Omarovo4000 will dig into their internet archives of videos, images, and memes to explore how – and why – what they find funny has changed over the years. Is endless layering of irony an escape from seriousness, or a way to bear it?
