A talk by Johannes Grenzfurthner, monochrom.
The term "context hacking"like its older
mimetic sibling "communication guerilla"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.
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.
Their mission is conducted everywhere, but first
and foremost "in culture-archaeological digs
into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment."
