    Internet has left the screens to permeate every detail of our lives. We talk about the Internet (and sometimes LIKE the Internet), we write about the Internet, we think about the Internet. We make t-shirts with memes, we publish books about them, we sell stickers… Do we print the internet? Are we afraid that digital will disappear? For this panel we have meme and digital content creatos, as well as analysts and curators who are experts in these trends. With Álvaro L. Pajares, Marina G. Canedo, Rafa López and Ainhoa ​​Marzol.

    Álvaro L. Pajares. Professor, writer and content creator for social networks. Since 2020, he combines his work as a publicist and meme creator with creative communication for political parties and brands on TikTok and Instagram. Currently, his research focuses on the study of the history of digital content in Spain and the appearance of hate speech against minorities in forums such as reddit and 4chan. In March 2023 he co-edited a book about memes and internet culture.
