Boing Boing berichtet: "Monochrom: 20 years' worth of Viennese art-weirdness"
Johannes from the Austrian art weirdos Monochrom sez, "As we are
currently celebrating 20 years of monochrom, we were confronted with the
problem of how to (re)present our history. We didn't simply want to
show archive material -- so we decided to pick 23 projects, anecdotes
and stories out our endless bulk of material and recreated them as
dioramas and machines.
"23 WORKS" is video series presenting and explaining these
installations.
I (personally) really like:"

Die "talking communities" haben in Weiz getagt, um das Festival "KOMM.ST
1.3" einzuläuten, das sich von Mai bis Juni quer durch die
Oststeiermark entfalten wird. Musiker Georg Gratzer hat dafür mit seinen
Verbündeten Spielorte von Anger bis Hartberg fixiert.
Vorab
brachte Gratzer Kollegen vom Wiener Kollektiv "monochrom" und den
Soziologen Rainer Rosegger mit. Auf Einladung des LEADER-Managements
tagte die Runde mit einer Abordnung von "kunst ost" im Weizer
Energie-Innovations-Zentrum.
Dabei wurden Grundlagen debattiert,
die in den kommenden Jahren einer zeitgemäßen kulturpolitischen
Orientierung für einzelnen Gemeinden in der Region dienen werden. Einmal
mehr wurde klar, daß hier ein kulturelles Engagement wächst, welches
die Provinz in solchen Fragen dem Landeszentrum Graz qualitativ
gleichstellt.

arse elektronika: sex, technologie und die zukunft der menschheit von den tausende jahre alten höhlenzeichnungen einer vulva bis zum neuesten porno-live-stream, technologie und sexualität waren schon immer eng miteinander verbunden. niemand kann vorhersagen was die zukunft bringen wird, aber der bisherige lauf der geschichte legt nahe, dass sex auch in zukunft eine essentielle rolle in der technologischen entwicklung spielen wird ? und dass technologien und deren anwendung die menschliche sexualität gestalten.wir dürfen nämlich nicht vergessen, dass wir eine sexuell motivierte und werkzeuge verwendende spezies sind. die frage ist also nicht ob, sondern wie diese interaktion die menschheit weiter verändern wird.
darum beschäftigt sich monochroms festival "arse elektronika" mit sex und technologie. teledildonik und sex machines, bio-hacking und screw-it-yourself, körper mit erweiterten sexuellen möglichkeiten, erotisch-genetische utopien und die vielfalt der sichtweisen auf gender und geschlecht sind schon lange im fokus der literatur, der science fiction, der pornographie. zeit genug sich diesen träumen und wünschen sowohl analytisch, als auch sinnlich zu widmen. vortrag wird gehalten von johannes johannes grenzfurthner. am 28. juni 2013 um 19.00 uhr in der schwelle7 in der rotenlöwengasse 12, 1090 wien. der eintritt zum vortrag ist frei. unkostenbeitrag zum anschließenden open evening eur 10.

arse elektronika 2013: id/entity vorträge, maschinen, workshops, performances, spiele. die monochrom'sche sex-technologie-konferenz. sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for arse elektronika 2013. identity, but also identification. technologies for the exploration of identities. technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. technologies for the verification of identities. for example: what about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for ?real names?? we typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. what is this entity? are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? how is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? what might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? what does sexual desire mean to a dolphin? we have technology-based identities. if we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity and position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself? the bay area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. so, how does the californian ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality? will apps like bang with friends and gadgets like google glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? and why are services like linkedin explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients? what have been the social ramifications of web 2.0, ten years on? by what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? what is the design history of the drop-down gender menu? and its alternatives? how did facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? what has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? what are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? what are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet? what technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? what would tsa protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? what does counter-surveillant fashion look like? how might we ensure the right not to be found? (should we?) are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment? if an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? is 'queer identity' an oxymoron? former tory chairman lord tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the uk "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." interesting times for sex tech? indeed! what about a historic dimension? what were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? what were the technologies of masked rituals? what technologies drove the invention of privacy? how did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? how was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? what is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?" how will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? what are we without our iphone and our beloved designer vibrator? is the marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism? if orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one?s sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? so, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing? what about big data in a sexual context? does size matter? what about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's ai? well... dear entities out there, with your proud egos, super-egos and hyper-egos! never forget that there is an id lurking round the corner! the real voight-kampff test is not minding that it hurts! 3. bis 6. oktober 2013 in san francisco, usa.
