UBERMORGEN.COM's artistic practice focuses primarily on online actionism. The digital production and publication platforms enable them to develop products into various media, the main being video, digital painting, photography and installation. The 50 min. screening will focus on their video works of the last decade and will use a 27 Min. CNN feature about their Vote-Auction project as underlying narrative to show-case various projects. The following discussion between Joasia Krysa, Hans Bernhard and the audience will deal with the relation of the screened works and their digital actionism. This discourse shall make a deeper understanding of the rather agressive and complex content of their work possible, as well as explain some of the applied media hacking strategies artistically, technically and
legally.

UBERMORGEN.COM is an art duo created in Vienna by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most unmatchable identities "controversial and iconoclast" of the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-garde. The permanent amalgamation of fact and fiction points toward an extremely expanded concept of one's working materials, that for UBERMORGEN.COM also include (international) rights, democracy and global communication (input-feedback loops).
"Ubermorgen" is the German word both for "the day after tomorrow"
or "super-tomorrow".

Since 1999 their work has been shown in museums and galleries in Europe, America, Africa, Australia and Asia and include venues such as SFMOMA, Centre Pompidou, Konsthall Malmoe, NTT ICC Museum Tokyo, Gwangju Design Biennale, ZKM Karlsruhe, MUMOK Vienna, Ars Electronica Linz, WRO Media Art Biennale Wroclaw, MoCA Taipei, Witte de With Rotterdam, Lentos Art Museum Linz, Biennale of Sydney, ARCO Madrid and the New Museum New York. They are currently represented by Fabio Paris Brescia, [DAM] Berlin and Carroll / Fletcher London.
