2. "Blue Is the New Green" (Nature, Water and Environment) .. Environmental humour and ecological solutions.
3. "Sorry, I'm Just an AI" (Technology, AI and the Human Future) .. Social media addiction, absurd algorithms, lost empathy, and artificial intelligence outsmarting common sense.
4. "System Errors" .. Everyday failures, error messages, modern crashes and the irony of living in a world that demands constant performance… even when the system breaks down.
5. "Laughing Under Pressure" (Mental Health and Society) .. Self-help trends, workplace anxiety, therapy clichés, and silent struggles.
6. "The Illusion of Planet B" (Out-of-this-World: Space, Sci-fi and Politics) .. Political absurdity, populism, fake news, manipulation — and what happens when the clown wins.
7. "The Algorithm of Taste" (Culture, Trends and Meme Obsession) .. Artists can play with the thin lines between high and low culture, real and fake, fast and timeless.
