Shitposting from the Cryosphere

Mixed Media
Shitposting From The Cryosphere is an installation reflecting on fences/boarded sites around Dublin city and meme culture, exploring the parallels between their function as means of communication.
The work appropriates materials and repeated signage found on the semi-permanent barriers surrounding vacant lots and construction sites, and encompasses the layers of irony used in the repetitive, low quality, and provocative posts that define internet ‘shitposting’.
Shitposting From The Cryosphere is a collaborative project developed by visual artists Falon Weaver and Aoife Ní Dhuinn. The works are made as part of an ongoing process of exchanging memes, experimenting with new mediums, and making observations while IRL scrolling (going for a walk).
