How To Go Viral is a fascinating deep dive into the world of cultural symbolism and the impact of technology on our understanding of meaning. Richard Clay, with his expertise in semiotics, steers us through a tapestry of centuries-old symbols, contrasting them with modern cultural outputs. The pacing is methodical, almost scholarly, but it never feels dry; the connections he makes are thought-provoking. The documentary offers a very unique take on the concept of 'stickiness'—what makes certain images or ideas resonate. There's a certain atmosphere of introspection, and while it's not flashy, the practical effects of old footage juxtaposed with modern examples create a captivating visual rhythm. It’s definitely a film that lingers in your thoughts long after viewing.
