*THEME INFORMATION*
For 0x Salon’s first venture beyond our own memetic practice and into a meta-discussion of internet memes, we aim to bring together meme admins and practitioners, researchers and theorists, and casual viewers alike. Our discussion will move beyond the Dawkinsian notion of memetics often invoked in academic discourse and instead center banal internet memes, which circulate between our screens and spread forcefully into the world outside.
*IMPORTANT*
Please read the 0x Salon's policy regarding discourse privacy and recordings.

0x Salon is an event series for irregular discourse. The multi-tentacular 0x Salon entity is primarily oriented around a series of small group discussions with 10-20 participants. During this viral winter we’ve opted to meet via online video calls, but we hope to reconvene at Trust in Berlin under better circumstances in the near future.
In part, this experiment is in response to our dissatisfaction with conventional knowledge creation & dissemination paradigms. Our community is made up of researchers, practitioners, theorists and other knowledge workers. Colleagues involved in the salon have experience of both traditional and vanguard intellectual environments - editing scholarly journals, organising conferences and workshop programs, and working with art institutions / festivals etc. The salon gives participants an opportunity to work through research problems with a group of transdisciplinary colleagues.
