By now, you may have heard that the Museum of The Moving Image is presenting the cutest, furriest exhibition of all time: How Cats Took Over The Internet, running from August 7, 2015–January 31, 2016. The five-month presentation will explore how our feline friends have taken the Internet by storm, chronicling the popularity of Caturday, LilBub, lolcats, and the general fervor generated by cat videos and celebrity cats. The exhibition will be located in the Museum’s amphitheater gallery, and will feature an assortment of Internet cat videos, GIFs, and images, and touch upon the cause of such adoration, exploring concepts like anthropomorphism and the aesthetics of cuteness, the framework of the Bored at Work Network, and the rise of user-generated content. Sounds like the most adorable way to spend a few hours!
