In advance of this week’s Open Video Conference, we take a look at a strange but revelatory phenomenon: internet memes. Check out the video below.The Gregory Bros., makers of some of the Auto-tuned goodness in the video, will join us at OVC.Also, don’t forget: as the capstone event to the second ever OVC, the hilarious gentlemen of MemeFactory present a survey — nay! a celebration! — of all things both open and video. Celebrate the rise of the bedroom producer, the remix and mashup artist, the copyright fighter and the fair use hero in these, the digital media halcyon days. (Can we call them that yet? Not sure.) They will do it in the only way we know how: with videos of people falling down, and adorable animals. Three dudes, thee projectors. Act now. [Facebook event]
