This museum has an exhibit on the 'online cats' phenomenon
The Internet is made of cats.
They are the celebrities around which millions of photos and videos are centered. The phenomenon is so big that there is a whole movie festival dedicated to footage showing these creatures.
But how did that happen?
The Museum of the Moving Image in New York is on a quest to trace back the phenomenon and take you on a journey to show you how it began and developed with an exhibit.
