A new meme: the September 11th Commandment G. W. Bush & O. Bin Laden (collab. work) "Memes" are the symbols of our postmodernity. The uncertainty principle they are associated with replaced the old conception of a supposed metanarrative. They evoke so many contemporary themes from the potentially infinite duplicability of the digital medium to the burning issue of genetic cloning. Our world has become an unstable self-disregulating memeplex. The fluidity and the pervasive aspect of global information demand a scientific control which is still beyond our reach. In order to handle this fluctuating mediascape, we focussed on creating a large-scale informational wave by launching a mediatic tsunami that will strike people's imaginations for hundreds of years and dissipate the fuzziness of postmodernity and chaos theory. As a result, individuals (minimal media units that are susceptible of maximal damages) will have to obey a new meme, The September 11th Commandment: "Suspect your neighbor as yourself".
