Weekend Picks: Félix Magal

Internet greetings to IAM Weekend 17 speaker Félix Magal, founder of the Museum of Internet!👋

A compendium of “images that make the internet awesome”, Museum of Internet shares fantastically context-free GIFs, memes and (of course) cat pics, and is currently liked by over 500,000 people on Facebook.

As founder of the page, Félix’s story of curating viral internet culture will be intriguing to hear at IAM Weekend 17. In an age where the gatekeepers of art, media, information and culture, are more and more ambiguous, these words from Félix seem to ring truer than ever:

On Facebook we are exactly on the same level than material museums such as the Louvre or the Tate. (via SLEEK)
