Joseph Ducreux / Archaic Rap. About Joseph Ducreux (June 26, 1735 – July 24, 1802) is an eighteenth century French artist known for his unorthodox style of portrait paintings.
On the interweb, his eccentric self-portrait has inspired a series of exploitable macros, featuring “archaic reinterpretation” of popular rap lyrics superimposed over the artwork. Reminiscent of Bayeux Tapestry image macros, this highly verbose joke provides a satisfying challenge of “decoding” the corrupted lyrics back into to the original verses. Origin Portrait de l’artiste sous les traits d’un moqueur (English: Self-portrait of the artist in the guise of a mockingbird), which depicts Ducreux grinning smugly while pointing his finger towards the viewer, was completed circa 1793.
Over two centuries later in 2009, Ducreux’ portrait was turned into an image macro with a caption reading “Disregard Females, Acquire Currency,” an archaic reinterpretation of lyrics from Notorious B.I.G’s 1995 hit single Get Money.

Le planking (planchage) est une activité qui consiste à adopter une attitude aussi raide qu'une planche (d'où son nom) dans des endroits publics et à se faire photographier. La photo est ensuite diffusée par Internet via des réseaux sociaux. Les « plankeurs » rivalisent pour trouver l'endroit le plus insolite et original. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Le planking est supposé avoir été inventé par Gary Clarkson et Christian Langdon en 1997[1].
Il est d’abord devenu populaire dans le nord-est de l'Angleterre[2], puis dans toute la Grande-Bretagne en été 2009. Variante[modifier | modifier le code] Il existe une variante française nommée « à plat ventre »[3] créée en 2004[4] par deux artistes, Alexis Clairet et Stenkat.
