I Can Haz Art Show?
I was on icanhascheezburger.com a moment ago and saw the following announcement:
Sep. 4, 2008
We are looking for artists to participate in a formal LOLcat art show--the first Internet meme art movement of its kind. The exhibit will open on Thursday, October 23rd in San Francisco. (You do not need to live in San Fran to participate). Each artist will create work inspired by LOLcats in any media. The field is ripe for your artistic interpretation of this pertinent symbolic currency.

Apparently, lolcats have moved from a dorky yet somehow popular internet meme to a form of pop art. Who knew? Do you think this is good for arts, internet memes, or lolcats? Do you think there'll be more genre & media crossover like this in the future, and how do you feel about that? Discuss.
