Johannes Grenzfurthner (monochrom) wanted to know why he should stay in Graz for Elevate Festival 2013. He feared it would be one of a myriad of lame “we have to change the world” events… aka: a privilege wankfest. If the guest speakers couldn’t convince him of the opposite, he said, he would take the next train to Kazakhstan, into a Soyuz rocket and flee to space.

He stayed. Hmm.
