UBERMORGEN is a bold and uncompromising team known for their feral energy and a relentless rise on the global art stage. Admired for their Digital Haute Couture Pixel Aesthetics, Dark AI, Media Hacking, and Polarizing Research, Artfacts defines the net.art pioneers’ work as ‘peak hyper contemporary.’ CNN called them ‘Maverick Austrian Business People’ for their Vote-Auction project, which reached half a billion people and drew the ire of the FBI, CIA, and NSA. Mid 2000s, their ‘EKMRZ Trilogy’ disrupted the 3 biggest e-commerce giants, in 2017, they released the first ever AI project at the Liverpool Biennale, while blending AI with CCTV horror in their ‘UNINVITED’ project. During the crypto hype, ‘The D1cks’ conquered traditional auction houses, and recent retro AI projects ‘PMC Wagner Arts’ (KW Berlin), and ‘The Silver Singularity’ (Busan Biennale) pushed elitism in art to the absolute maximum.

KLARHEIT ALS WAFFE
Luzius Bernhard, lizvlx (UBERMORGEN)

UBERMORGEN infiltriert Kunst, Medien und digitale Monokulturen mit subversiver Affirmation. Wie Donald Trump auch, zerstören sie täglich ihr Geschäftsmodell, um daraus radikal neue Lösungen zu schaffen. Anhand von Projekten wie Vote-Auction, Google Will Eat Itself und PMC Wagner Arts dokumentieren sie ihre künstlerische Evolution im Never-Ending Now. Chaos ist ihre Methode, Kunst ihre Neue Ehrlichkeit, Klarheit ihre Waffe.
