ISBN 978-3856164607, Euro 24,00

For the first time and marking UBERMORGEN.COM 's 10-year anniversary, a
critical examination of the complete body of work of the artist duo
lizvlx and Hans Bernhard is presented in the form of a 200 page book,
which includes more than 200 color pictures.

A highly varied assortment of critics, curators, and artists reflect on
UBERMORGEN.COM's border crossings in the channels of global mass media
and on their radical actions above the abyss of the international art
scene. It is this conglomerate of conceptual art, software art, fine
art, media hacking, net.art and media actionism that makes
UBERMORGEN.COM the hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk that stands out in Europe's
media art avant-garde.

It includes texts and interviews by and with Inke Arns, Florian Cramer,
Régine Debatty, Raffael Dörig, Marina Grzinic, Jacob Lillemose,
Alessandro Ludovico, Stefan Nussbaumer, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Domenico
Quaranta, Yukiko Shikata, Cornelia Sollfrank, Grischinka Teufl and Peter
Weibel.

The project section of the catalogue features exemplary projects such as
[V]ote-Auction, the Generator Tetralogy, the Psych|OS cycle and the
EKMRZ Trilogy: GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself, Amazon Noir – The Big Book
Crime and The Sound of eBay.

The Monograph is a joint effort from three solo exhibitions held at the
Basler Forum für Neue Medien [plug.in] (2005), at HMKV - Hartware
MedienKunstVerein Dortmund (2006) and at Overgaden Contemporary Art
Institute Copenhagen (2006). Funded by Bundesamt fuer Kultur
Switzerland, Danish Art Council, net.ART council Texas USA and
Migros-Kulturprozent Switzerland.
