The 'Anarchic Hand': Quote: "The phenomenon of the 'anarchic hand' is probably one of the strangest things researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience will ever come across. People with this bizarre condition have one hand that is under full mental control whilst the other hand seems to behave as if it had a will of its own and competes with the other hand to perform actions. Professor Sergio Delia Sala (University of Edinburgh) has been studying this condition. So peculiar is it that some have come to call it 'Dr Strangelove's syndrome', after the film in which Peter Sellers plays a mad scientist who has to grab his arm to stop it making Nazi salutes. The symptoms can be humorous to watch but can be devastating for the afflicted person." 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.
