monochrom proudly presented a song at the HOPE Conference Closing Ceremony in New York City. "Surfen Multimedia" is a German techno-trash-schlager by a group called "Eurocats" and was recorded in 1996. In 1996 this song was ahead of its time. But now we can introduce it as the new theme song of the global hacker movement. Spread the word.
Surfen Multimedia Lyrics (translation):
Suring surfing through the world with multimedia Suring surfing, day and night on the data highway
Come join me on the internet tonight I'm already waiting for you Dude, be a user, go online You'll meet me in the email
And should you lack some megabytes You’ll find them here with me Be it interface or cyberspace I'll gladly share with you
With bits and bytes With mouse and click We are going on a tour In the World Wide Web We'll follow each new hint today
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.
