I am your meme dealer

2022 - Present

 
 

"I am your meme dealer" is an ongoing series that uses intaglio printmaking - mainly etching and aquatint - to produce internet meme images.

I am interested in the dynamics between the subject matter of memes and the medium of intaglio printmaking. The combination presents the difference in digital and analogue reproduction, as well as similarities between the internet and print through their embodiment of a pursuit of efficient information replication and distribution.

In an increasingly digital age driven by advanced automation, artificial intelligence, mass production and consumption, the project seeks to explore themes such as information dissemination, accessibility, effort, and convenience through this juxtaposition of a dated technology and internet-developed images.
