I have followed the philosophical discussions on "memology" with
great interest. In wondering how all this philosophizing might
appear as a "work of art" I could only come up with the image of
the Mandelbrot set--O's, 1's struggling to hold their position,
some falling into the set others flying off into infinity.
No one has yet answered the previously posited questions of
what memology has to do with producing a work of electric art--
unless by analogy one resorts to the programming of digital
images onto many parallel computers which then evolve images bio-
computerally. Not being an artist this is about as far as I can
take this philosophical border of memes made out of nothing but
words, and reinterpret them as ever-evolving images of images. I
have read that cross-computational images of this biological
nature are breaktakingly beautiful and quite other worldly
(whatever this means).
I wonder, though, what would a "real" artist's meme look like?
