Tebowing is so last year. Planking is played out. And koalaing never really caught on in the first place. Which leaves an opening for a new photo meme: Tildaing.

Tilda Swinton's art installation at New York City's MoMA museum—where she sleeps in a glass box (seriously, that's a real thing)—has inspired what might be "the next big thing." Will the Internet take it and run with it? We'll have to wait and see.

But early efforts to make #Tildaing happen are certainly amusing. It's basically just sleeping in public, except more artistic. So sleep like no one is watching and snap a picture. That's Tildaing!

Mashable has been an early advocate, even creating their own glass box! Bonus points for you, Mashable! You go, Mashable!

As have many local news teams. A surprise, seeing as their attempts at such crazes as "The Harlem Shake" were often the most embarrassing.
