The Map and the Island: Today, about 2 o'clock in the morning, I left our monochrom office at the Museumsquartier Vienna. Recently a giant map of the Earth has been placed on the ground in front of the main entrance, a nice idea and mainly for tourists. Nobody was there and so I tried to jump over Australia, landed near Madagaskar, slipped and fell all over Africa and slammed on the South Atlantic at 37° West, 54.5° South, about 1,300 Km East-South-East of the Falkland Islands. Now, for the first time in my life, I spotted "South Georgia", part of the South Atlantic and Subantarctic Islands - consisting of beautiful islands such as "Inaccessible Island". The southernmost part of South Georgia, facing the Antarctic regions, is called Cape Disappointment. Now that's what I call a name. Link
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.
