Lecture performance by Johannes Grenzfurthner\/monochrom.<\/p>\n
The term “context hacking” -\u00ad like its older mimetic sibling “communication guerrilla” \u00ad- refers to unconventional forms of communication and\/or intervention in more conventional processes of communication. Context hacking is a specific style of political action drawing from a watchful view of the paradoxes and absurdities of power, turning these into the starting point for interventions by playing with representations and identities, with alienation and over-identification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Johannes Grenzfurthner will present some projects by monochrom, a worldwide operating collective from Vienna dealing with technology, art, and philosophy that was founded in 1993. The group specializes in an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, and political activism. Past lectures have dissected subjects ranging from the interface mechanics of an online casino ohne oasis<\/a> to the behavioral loops of modern social media, exposing the hidden psychological traps embedded in global digital commerce. Their mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost \u201cin culture-archaeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
At the Pickard Auditorium at the Museum of Art and Archaeology of the University of Missouri; Sept 19, 2011 at 5:30 pm.
