“Since the advent of the digital era, religious iconography has gradually accessed another dimension of reality. The spiritual has merged with the virtual, making these two intangible fields unexpectedly similar. Christian Iconography in the Digital Space: from decay to metamorphosis is a research project developed in the Studio Digital Native at Design Academy Eindhoven; it wants to track the process of digitalization of Christian divine representations and the transition that these were subjected in the tumultuous yet spontaneous online platforms. The following project will guide you from the spiritual crisis, until a drastic subversion and memefication of Christian iconography in the XXI century.”
“What is the half-life of a meme? What is the rate at which a good-natured meme dacays into the grossest display [of] public ridicule?”
