A new meme: the September 11th Commandment

"Memes" are the symbols of our postmodernity. The uncertainty principle they are associated with replaced the old conception of a supposed metanarrative. They evoke so many contemporary themes from the potentially infinite duplicability of the digital medium, to the burning issue of genetic cloning or the scale-free network theory. Our world has become an unstable self-disregulating memeplex. The fluidity and the pervasive aspect of global information demand a scientific control which is still beyond our reach. In order to handle this fluctuating mediascape, we focussed on creating a large-scale informational wave by launching a mediatic tsunami that will strike people's imaginations for hundreds of years and dissipate the fuzziness of postmodernity and chaos theory. As a result, individuals (minimal media units that are susceptible of maximal damages) will have to obey a new meme, The September 11th Commandment: "Suspect your neighbor as yourself".
