On the Language of Internet Memes

Held in partnership with Tucson Youth Poetry Slam (TYPS).

Target audience was high-school students up to 18 years-old, the same audience that TYPS traditionally reaches out to.

Ten participants consented to be part of the study, but only two were able to attend all three sessions. Nonetheless all ten generated data to be analyzed.

Participants were guided through explorations into the language of internet memes to incorporate visual, succinct and remixed digital content into their already developed poetic vocabulary.

Ran from July 18th to the 20th, 2013.
