++TAUGSHOW #10++
Sunday, February 11, 2007 / 8:00 PM
The flat hierarchies of talk shows are about as subversive as
NYC Democrats smoking dope. But count us out! We won't produce
a talk show. Nope. We produce a TAUGSHOW! Which means: we dig
it. Our guests are geeks, heretics, and other coevals. A joyful
bucket full of good clean fanaticism, crisis, language, culture,
self-content, identity, utopia, mania and despair, condensed into
the well known cultural technique of a prime time TV show.
[taugen; Viennese slang: to dig/love/adore something]

Content Manager: Roland Gratzer

/// MONOCHROM
Taugshow is a project by monochrom. But what is monochrom?
monochrom is a worldwide operating collective dealing
with technology, art, context hacking, and philosophy which was
founded in 1993. They specialize in an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic
fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, and political
activism. Their mission is conducted everywhere, but first and
foremost "in culture-archaeological digs into the seats (and
pockets) of ideology and entertainment."
Among their projects, monochrom has released a leftist retro-gaming
project, established a one baud semaphore line through the streets
of San Francisco, started an illegal space race through Los Angeles,
buried people alive in Vancouver, and cracked the hierarchies
of the art system with the Thomann Project. In Austria they ate
blood sausages made from their own blood in order to criticize
the grotesque neoliberal formation of the world economy. Sometimes
they compose melancholic pop songs about dying media and they
have hosted the first annual festival concerned with cocktail
robotics. At the moment they're planning a conference about pornography
as one of the driving forces of technological innovation. They
also do international soul trade, propaganda camps, epic puppet
theater, aesthetic pregnancy counseling, food catering, and -
sorry to mention - modern dance.
