Our final project,named "Product Misplacement", is hypothetical merchandising campaign that takes certain internet related ideas and superimposes them into the "real world". Phrases that have roots in internet speak like "LOL" and "Pwned" have already permeated spoken language - we thought it might be interesting to put some of these ideas in more physical settings. Our merchandise consists of two lines: t-shirts that simply have internet lingo printed on the front and "Product Misplacement" written on the back, and a remediation of the digital picture frame (LCD screens in picture frames that you can upload your digital photos onto and place in a household setting) that would upload a family's popular "YouTube" video for display in the house. We figured ideas like these would help solidify internet culture as one that is very much embedded in the real world.
Enjoy the summer everyone -
Eric and Jon
