http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?blogId=1 monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993. http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=662&blogId=1 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:29:01 +0200 http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=660&blogId=1 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:26:55 +0200 http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=658&blogId=1 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:05:32 +0200 http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=656&blogId=1 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:21:23 +0200 http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=654&blogId=1 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:53:13 +0200 http://monochrom.at/blog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=651&blogId=1 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:20:55 +0200 Johannes Grenzfurthner will give talk about monochrom's conference series "Arse Elektronika" at "Ars Electronica" (TELE INTERNET Bau 1, 3rd floor) in Linz. September 3, 2010, 7 PM. Arse Elektronika: Sex, Tech, and the Future of Screw-It-Yourself We may not forget that mankind is a sexual and tool-using species. From the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting to the newest Internet porno, technology and sexuality have always been closely linked. New technologies are quick to appeal to pornography consumers, and thus these customers represent a profitable market segment for the suppliers of new products and services. Currently, all factors show that high-tech developments owe a great deal of their success to the need for further sexual stimulation. One could cite the example provided by the science fiction concept of a full-body interface designed to produce sexual stimulation. But it isn’t science fiction anymore. It's DIY. As bio-hacking, sexually enhanced bodies, genetic utopias, and plethora of gender have long been the focus of literature, science fiction and, increasingly, pornography, this year will see us explore the possibilities that fictional and authentic bodies have to offer. Our world is already way more bizarre than our ancestors could have ever imagined. But it may not be bizarre enough. "Bizarre enough for what?" you might ask. Bizarre enough to subvert the heterosexist matrix that is underlying our world and that we should hack and overcome for some quite pressing reasons within the next century. Don't you think, replicants?
