The Future is Finally Weird AF | Silvia Dal Dosso

Artist and researcher Silvia Dal Dosso explores how we make meaning in a post-post-truth internet shaped by memes, AI and disinformation.

In her extensive work mapping the entirety of the "memesphere", Dal Dosso examines memes as revealing tools for expressing what language can't. As platforms shift from text to image to video, memes mutate - but their function remains the same. She argues that memes are coping mechanisms for a time of crisis, helping us process an overwhelming flow of data, fear, humour, and contradiction.

Dal Dosso confronts us with questions about AI-generated images, including: If images are fake but still shape reality, what does “truth” even mean anymore? Filmmaking, found footage and meme culture collide in this reflection on a world that feels increasingly incoherent, and the ways we try to understand it.
