UBERMORGEN (‘the day after tomorrow’, CH/AT/US, *1995) is an artist duo with a steady worldwide presence, a synthesis of autistic actionist lizvlx (Liz Katlein) & pragmatic visionary Luzius Bernhard (formerly Hans Bernhard).
They are net.art pioneers, ‘Media Hackers’ widely recognized for their Online Actionism, Haute Couture NFTs & Websites, Polarising Social Experiments, Radical Research, Dark Technology, Binary Primitivism & Conceptual Art; Artfacts calls their work ‘Ultra Contemporary’. CNN called them ‚Maverick Austrian Business People‘ during their VoteAuction 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 ≈ Crypto/NFTs collide to create deeply nostalgic synthetic organisms.
