monochrom event // The Flower Currency, part 2: Lamination: The Flower Currency is "a hippyesque post-hippie approach to changing the world". It is a project to explore a value exchange system, created and owned by children, to enable people to collaborate on the creation of interdisciplinary (art) works. In May 2006 we invited interested people to a flower picking Saturday afternoon in Amstetten, Lower Austria. Now it's time to return to Amstetten. November 25 (4 PM) we'll all meet again at Cafe Kuckuck and we plan to laminate the dried flowers into credit card sized plastic cards, turning the flowers in tradeable tokens. If you can't come along, maybe you want to listen to the project song by monochrom/Kertal.
monochrom, Ian Grigg, Stefan Lutschinger and other friends invite you to join! 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.
