Monkey See, Meme-key Do.

2020. 10
This project <Monkey see, Meme-key Do> is designed to raise a question about today's meme, which often distorts one's image as a monkey while widly consumed as an instant pleasure. 
Throughout this project, this question is repeatedly thrown to viewers. Just like well known idiom, "make a monkey out of somebody", are we making a monkey out of somebody by participating today's meme culture?

이 프로젝트는 밈을 소비하며 누군가를 조롱거리로 전락시키고 있진 않은지에 대하여, 숙어 ‘Make a Monkey (out) of Somebody 웃음거리로 만들다’에 빗대 ‘누군가를 원숭이로 만들고 있지는 않은가?’라는 의문을 던진다.
Being humiliated is described as a monkey in a zoo. Based on this idea, I have named a meme as a meme-key, which becomes a main element of this project.

Twenty six famous memes with an intention of humiliating and ridiculing someone are selected. Throughout this process Meme-key A to Z is created.

무언가 구경거리가 되는 것을 동물원 원숭이가 되었다라고 표현한다. 이를 착안하여 사람들이 만들어낸 것을 밈숭이라고 지칭하고 프로젝트를 전개한다. 한국을 기반으로 하여 잘 알려진 밈들 중 26가지 밈을 선별하고 ‘밈숭이 Meme-Key A~Z를 만들었다.


Three designs, video, website, and report are created. Video is a collection of Meme-keys which complies the form of a *mashup with music and moving images.

만들어진 작업 3가지는 영상, 웹사이트, 보고서이다. 영상은 ‘밈숭이’를 모아 밈의 종류 중 하나인 mashup 형태로 제작했다.
<Meme-key Report> is a report book which summarizes the contents in the video and website. It contains a purpose and a background of the project. It also explains different types of meme and the cases which memes are misused, process of desinging this project, and background of memes used in Meme-keys. It consists of two parts, part 1. Meme and part 2. Mem-key.

<Meme-key Report> 는 프로젝트의 영상과 웹사이트의 내용을 정리한 보고서이다. 밈을 다루게 된 프로젝트의 배경이 상세하게 담겨있다. 밈의 종류와 밈이 악용된 사례, 프로젝트의 전개방식과 밈숭이에 사용된 밈의 배경에 대해 다룬다. part. 1 Meme과 part. 2 Meme-key, 두 파트로 구성되어있다.
