A sculpture inspired by a LOLcat meme, also known as “Half Cat,” “Panorama Fail Cat,” or “Sinko Peso.”
Installed at Frankfurter Kunstverein.
The original image features a cat with two legs and no ears walking down a street. Since its first appearance in 2010, it has been widely used in various memes.
The deformation was initially believed to be caused by a technical error in Google Street View. However, users on online forums eventually discovered the original photograph of a four-legged cat strolling down a street in Ottawa, Canada. It was revealed that the image was not a glitch but a deliberate edit designed to mimic a technological error, suggesting that accidental tech failures can appear more compelling than intentional Photoshop edits.
