The upcoming art show "LOLcat: The Exhibishun" features just what it suggests, media based on the internet's fascination with cats.  The pieces range from pictures, to animated .gif images, and video. 

"“For many people, especially those who don’t spend a ton of time on the internet, ‘funny cat pictures’ are shorthand for internet culture as a whole,” Miltner said. “From my perspective, it makes total sense that a phenomenon with this level of cultural significance would be explored through other art forms.”

Essentially, he feels that this is representative to the internet as a whole for a lot of people, and beyond that it is representative on people's fascination with cats.  I love it, so there's at least some truth to his thoughts.
