Inspiration! 💡
Inspired by seeing Geert Lovink speak about "Platform Brutality" at BEK. His memes are great.
It made me wonder how savvy, grotesque and ironic Gemini 3 + Nano Banana Pro + Veo3 cld go. Turns out they can in the words of a millennial friend ‘hit hard’. And NanoBanana Pro combined into a Gemini chat interface offers a nuanced swift mode of intelligently exploring design space.
Gemini’s Perspective on Lovink’s Memes 🤖
“The researcher is curating memes that function as intellectual pressure valves. They use high-level academic concepts to articulate a visceral, low-level sense of dread or absurdity about modern life. The humor comes from the friction between the "sacred" (dense philosophy, serious political theory) and the "profane" (video games, stock photos, crude illustrations, everyday frustrations).”
Acknowledgement 🙏
“Can you Copium?” relied on aesthetic support and helpful feedback from the quintessential Tegan Pyke: millennial meme consultant.
