An excerpt from their website:
The world’s first Internet Cat Video Festival was an unparalleled and unexpected success. A viral sensation online, sparking news headlines worldwide, the festival itself saw the convergence of 10,000 people—some in costumes, others cradling kitty companions, all feline fanatics—on the Walker’s hillside one warm August evening last year. Since then the festival has spawned other lives: a national (and possibly international) tour, continued interest from the media, and a bigger, better version planned for 2013.
Part of Open Field, the Walker’s summertime experiment in community and the commons, the festival moves in 2012 from the grassy lawn beside the art center to the Minnesota State Fair due to construction on the Walker grounds this summer. But for a crowd-sourced, communal experience, the “Great Minnesota Get-Together” makes for an apt setting, says Scott Stulen, mnartists.org project director and festival producer. In a wide-ranging conversation with Walker web editor Paul Schmelzer, he discusses cat culture, viral trends online, and how the Internet is the cat lover’s version of the dog park.
