X13539: How to be very smart (like us) in Splash 2019 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2019)
Hi, we're MIT students, and we used to be super incompetent, up until we realized that you have to fake it to make it. Now we know everything. Learn to be just like us.


Z11927: Memes: A People's History in Splash 2017 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2017)
Memes are dead; if memes are dead, everything is permitted. We must ascend higher, towards the freedom of post-irony. There we shall be unleashed from the limits of the meme-structure-format and the need for ironic distance between subject and object that stems from the same distance demanded of the artist from his meme. We will be free to say what we want and it would be just as dank as if it were behind 7 layers of irony.
