Untitled, Black Square on Red Square, IRWIN, White

UBERMORGEN.COM, Black n white, 2009 – 2009.

“We work exclusively with the idea of the pixel and with the pixel as raw material, the pixel is our paint or wood or stone – black-n-white animated 1×1 pixel sized pixels with different time intervals, 1/100, 1/10, 1 and 10 seconds. [...] We abstract digital remakes from well known conceptual art objects from Judd, Lewitt, Graham, Haacke, Emin, Anastasi and IRWIN und use these as our visual set of instructions.”

Connessioni Leggendarie is the first exhibition devoted to NET.ART history. Referring to a wide audience it reviews the years from 1995 to 2005; during this decade, artists separated by geographical and socio-political barriers shared ideas and artworks, using them as creative weapons over a new and unique continent: the Internet.
Working with net languages, developing collective actions with a strong media impact, bringing irony, deconstruction and, why not, fun inside the formal severity of digital cultures, artists belonging to NET.ART gave life to a true legend.

Domenico Quaranta

In the projects series called Psych|OS, the Austrian artist duo UBERMORGEN.COM (lizvlx/Hans Bernhard) is working on the subtle membrane that connects the digital and the biological: a mix that UBERMORGEN.COM, an identity that lives and works on the Net, experienced on their own bodies. One of the best-known exponents of the net.art scene, UBERMORGEN.COM are the theorists of digital actionism, a radical practice of artistic action which experiments on the market of attention and takes place in mass media. The most astonishing result of this kind of practice so far has been Vote-Auction (2000), a web site that, during the American presidential elections 2000, helped people sell their vote in an auction. The legal prosecution against UBERMORGEN.COM, and the media hysteria it produced, are an integral part of the whole project. During this mass-media-performance, UBERMORGEN.COM were interviewed up to 30 times per day. CNN produced a 30 minutes show on the project in their legal format Burden of Proof. In this feature, UBERMORGEN.COM never comment on whether the project was a real threat to the integrity of the U.S. election or wheter it was a political satire.
