Video documentation of Intervention 125, an urban intervention by art collective OHM & Philipp Friedrich in Vienna, September 2009. Supported by GRL and monochrom.
This artistic session was criticizing the Austrian laws against "damage for property", paragraph §125 and §126, which have theirs roots in 1930 and basically threaten violators with up to 6 months in jail for damage that "exceeds EUR 5000" and up to 6 years for damage "over EUR 50,000".
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.
