What happens when memes invade modernist abstraction? @batz.eth's "Modern Memeism" isn't just a remix of 20th-century art—it’s a full-scale mutation. A thread 👇

Curiosity (2023) – A Cubist fracture of form & meaning. Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon reimagined in a world where truth is endlessly questioned. Are we seeing the subject, or just the meme of the subject? Pepedenza #2 (2023) – Batzdu’s Futurist moment. Where Boccioni captured the speed of machines, Batzdu dissects the motion of ideology itself. National symbols blur into abstraction, their meaning just another layer in the memeplex.

Meme #96 (2024) – What if Mondrian’s Composition with Red, Blue & Yellow got corrupted in the digital void? Batzdu glitches the utopian purity of De Stijl, turning structure into chaos, harmony into recursion. The meme doesn’t break—it multiplies. GeoMetric Pepe #52 (2022) – The meme infiltrates high modernism. Mondrian’s grid can’t escape Pepe’s stare. Like Lichtenstein flipping Abstract Expressionism into pop, Batzdu forces us to ask: Is art leading memes, or have memes consumed art?

"Modern Memeism" is not nostalgia—it’s a paradigm shift. Batzdu’s work shows that art is no longer about refinement, but mutation. The memeplex isn’t a tool; it’s the medium, the message, and the endless loop of cultural recombination.
