Thursday 7/7/2011- Screening Α- Unit 2 | LOL |
Duration: 54 min |
In times of multiple dead ends and despair, good sense of humour becomes more subversive than ever. An abbreviation (Laughing Out Loud) that signified the beginning of "internet slang" as it was born exclusively on the net and in mobile texting, lightens up utterly different neurons in the brains of 16 video artists, with equally diverse consequences. Last March the word LOL was added in the Oxford English Dictionary. History is written as we speak, it seems to be implied by all artists. But do we actually realise it?
