Abstract

A version of a paper presented at  Flash Symposium , as part of Arts Week, Birkbeck College, School of Arts, 24th May 2011. If language is the highest application of the mimetic faculty, what is the shortest? With  Walter Benjamin as a guide, this Flash paper corresponds with glitchy GIFs and kitschy net cultures. How do GIF images mean? and where can I get some?
