TROLL is a group exhibition instigated by CTRL+W33D to examine the act of trolling as a sexual, cultural, and ethical practice. To troll is to sift through image and text, filtering and re-contextualizing subject-significant objects; it is a baiting and malicious comment made behind the anonymity of the Web, soliciting argument for the purpose of producing breakdown and chaos; it is a sexual practice, to cruise for sex, to seek partners anonymous or otherwise. TROLL is a collection of works by contemporary artists, friends, and acquaintances. It is organized around a theme, a site, and a method. CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+W33D.
CTRL+W33D is a gay, digital media art collective organized through an image sharing blog and hosted on the popular platform Tumblr. The site is a collection of images, video, and text trolled from the Internet for the purpose of decontextualization and critique.
