Memes ...

"....Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation." (Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, 1976, p 192)

After having dealt with memes either way in our respective professional backgrounds (Burkel as MD and writer, Rohleder as managing partner of a leading supplier of interior textiles) we joined forces to elaborate our ideas on content for digital media in 2004 and founded MEMWORX. As expected, others got infected too: Leon Messner (Berlin) and Alfonso Rutigliano (Neuchâtel/New York) became additional members of MEMWORX´s core. This team is assisted by a handful of ad-hoc free-lancers.

MEMWORX`s Pipeline:

Project S - an application featuring gaming elements and driven by social performance, designed to boost the distribution and monetization of user-generated content over 3G mobile systems in Japan and South Korea (this hotlink leads to a few interface examples)

Project Z - a model for the bartering of personal services via wireless devices and the internet

Project D - a marketing campaign and a portal for the growth of legal online distribution of digitalized music and affiliated products
