From the YouTube description
Le Grand Content examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential. Intersections and diagrams are assembled to form a grand ‘association-chain-massacre’. which challenges itself to answer all questions of the universe and some more. Of course, it totally fails this assignment, but in its failure it still manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters.

If you crossed Marvin the Paranoid Android and Al Gore, I think this this would be the resulting content.

Indexed is a visual blog that uses simple visual frameworks to ponder life’s big questions. Huge insights? Maybe, maybe not, but often amusing. What I like is you immediately understand exactly what’s going on with no explanation or additional context. She’s a cartoonist of quantifying culture. Its an inspiration for those of use that are paragraph focused.

Thanks for the chuckle.
