Domenico Quaranta (ed.): Ubermorgen.com (2009)

UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, in 1999 by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most unmatchable identities – controversial and iconoclast – of what they call “the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-garde”. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art, pixelpainting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk.

This monograph is a first attempt to provide an overview of their hybrid body of work, that moves constantly between art and entertainment, mass communication and one-to-one experience, digital and physical; and to introduce their corporate identity, that is itself a work of art. Through projects such as [V]ote Auction, Psych|OS, Art Fid, Superenhanced and the recent monument to the e-commerce age known as The EKMRZ Trilogy, and trough contributions by the art critics Inke Arns and Domenico Quaranta and the legendary net.art duo Jodi.org, this book is also a veritable portrait of a future that is already here.
