Rose White is our new monochrom blogger! A warm welcome!
Rose is a sociology PhD student at Graduate Center-CUNY, in Manhattan, but lives in Brooklyn because that's where all the action is. Her doctoral work is on how bright people break rules (in other words, deviance and technology!)—tell her what you want studied and maybe she'll get on that. She presented at Arse Elektronika 2007 in San Francisco on unintended consequences of Web 2.0, and she used to own a yarn store in Brooklyn, named Yarnivore. In 1997 she had a story anthologized in Best American Erotica, which means it's about time for her to write some new porn. And she's learning German, but you might not want to test that for awhile.
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.
