This would probably be interesting for a non Swedish reader, or not, Hanna Widerstedt a Swedish artist is the most trending person in Google searches in Sweden. Friend of reason naturally wonders what her claim to fame is creating such interest. I believe this might take a little explanation into the Swedish mentality to be able to grasp.
Sweden has an artschool that is famous for or should notorious for its student project that runs of the charts. Not so long ago one student project was widely discussed and reported about in the media since a student had pretended to be crazy and got herself admitted to a mental institution, another brought a storm of protest since he or she, (don’t remember which it was) vandalized a subway train and had it filmed.
This time Hanna Widerstedt has made up a personality, participated in the TV-Show big brother, writing a blog and mingling with the ”hot” and popular in the cyber universe of bloggers, reality stars and wannabes in Sweden. She started her own blog exaggerating everything. She calls her made up personality ”Lois Vulgorett” and the project the ”LV Project."
She describes her experience as living in ”a bubble of angst and champagne.”
