Meme Hacking - Subverting The Ideosphere
Broward Horne, Software Consultant
Abstract:
“Meme Hacking – Subverting The IdeoSphere” is a followup and expansion of last year’s “Meme Mining” presentation. It expands upon previous material and shifts from passive data mining to active meme manipulation. Concrete examples and patterns for meme manipulation are demonstrated, including an example of how I legally used active meme propagation to disrupt a former employer. The material ranges from specific tactical examples up to a strategic framework for Meme theory and the possible evolution of memes due to information technology changes.
