UBERMORGEN (‘the day after tomorrow’, CH/AT/US, *1995) is a clean and ungrateful artist duo. Rebels with a steadily ascending worldwide presence, they represent the apex of risk in contemporary art. The synthesis of autistic actionist lizvlx aka Liz Haas & hyperactive visionary Lúzius Bernhard, amplified by linguistic contrarian Billie Bernhard. Net.art pioneers, master deducers’, and media hackers’ are widely recognized for their online actionism, haute couture websites & NFTs, their polarizing social experiments, radical empathy, dark AI, nonbinary primitivism, and conceptual research. Artfacts proclaim their work as the epitome of ‘hyper contemporary’. CNN called them 'Maverick Austrian Business People' during their Vote-Auction project, reaching 500 million worldwide & challenging the FBI, CIA, & NSA (US presidential election 2000). A series of conceptual hacks (EKMRZ Trilogy, 2005-08) shook the foundations of the dominating e-commerce giants: ‘Google Will Eat Itself’, ‘Amazon Noir’, & ‘The Sound of eBay’. In 2021, ‘The Next Biennial Should be Curated by a Machine’ used AI-TikTikPop to catapult visitors into 64 twisted parallel universes. Today ‘UNINVITED’ AI Horror Film and crypto Art collide to create deeply nostalgic synthetic organisms, and ‘The D1cks’, hand-pixelated 1 of 1 Haute Couture NFTs reveal ‘L‘Origine du pixel’ and are leveraged by indirect art washing commissions such as PMC Wagner Arts.

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.
