Contagious examples of digital pop culture
Posted by Dominic Basulto

Remember Internet contagions like Hot or Not, Black People Love Us! and Dancing Baby? Well, the "Contagious Media" exhibit at the New Museum of Contemporary Art examines some of the most famous of these Internet contagions that have been transmitted to millions of online users worldwide via email, IM or Web sites.
Sarah Boxer's review in the New York Times called the exhibit "adolescent" and "male," but that's OK. However, there's a part of the review where Sarah sounds a bit sardonic that does bother us:
"Don't worry if you've never heard of these. It just means that you're not cool. And now that you've learned about them in the mainstream media (known as MSM on the Web), they're not all that cool, either."
