Clusterduck is an interdisciplinary collective working in new media studies, design, and transmedia, investigating processes and actors behind the creation of Internet-based content. Clusterduck is a germinal collective intelligence born from the hybridization of online and real-life interactions. Clusterduck is the incidental manifestation of these messed up times.

Humorous, irrelevant, political or artistic? Memes are omnipresent in the age of social media and co. and bring a familiar duo more into focus. The compression of writing and images into pointed statements is not only an expression of the digital present, but has been an integral part of communicative and artistic strategies since the Middle Ages at the latest.
