The project revolves around the contemporary image of the cat. It reflects on its expansion and distribution across the Internet, and on the ways in which users engage with this content. To do so, the artist draws on elements that emerge online, such as memes, influencers, or objects that currently symbolize or stereotype these felines, to create a series of ironic scenes influenced by the concept of the Cosmic Cat: current cat-related content on the Internet and a reflection on the future of this image.
“- What was one of the things that people never thought the Internet would be used for, but has actually become one of the main reasons people use it?
– Kittens.”
(Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, on its 25th anniversary).
