Who says the internet is just for humans? Some might even argue that it’s made of cats, (there’s even a song about it). Sharks swim between internet cables, the Doge meme has increased breeding of the Shiba Inu, and petfluencers amass millions of followers whilst spreading animal advocacy. Researchers are using AI to decode whale language, and there’s even prototypes being built for a dog internet, a space for dog-to-dog connection mediated by technology. Join us at The Hmm ON the Animal Internet at Dierenopvang Amsterdam (DOA – Animal Shelter Amsterdam) to map the impact of the internet on other animals. As the largest pet shelter in the Netherlands, DOA helps more than 2000 stray cats and dogs per year. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be with our furry friends and six artists, researchers, and makers to explore internet culture beyond our own species. Limited in-person tickets available! We’re excited to have Jeanine Kornmann, Senior Communications Specialist at DOA, helping us to put together a wonderful programme for the evening. Stay posted further down on this page for more information on speakers and the programme. 🗓 Date: Wednesday 24 September 2025 📍 Location: DOA, Ookmeerweg 271, 1067 SP Amsterdam ⏰ Doors open: 19.00 CEST 🕗 Program starts: 19.30 CEST 🎟 Tickets: on-site €8,- / on-site student discount €5,- / online livestream €5 ♿️ Accessibility note The event location is accessible and has an elevator and an accessible toilet.

The band self-released their tape -Junkie’s Boneyard- in 2018 and in 2023 the band presented their first LP -Kids Hurting Kids– with Bagdaddy Records. In 2024 the band released the EP –Things That Rhyme With Pain– including full length videoclip.
