monochrom's KIKI AND BUBU: RATED R US - in Orlando!

monochrom content info
Our favorite sock puppets Kiki and Bubu have some feelings, so they sign up for an online dating site. When the People of China want to become their friend, they are excited. However, sending the People of China a video of themselves proves to be difficult: Their content gets flagged as inappropriate and taken down from YouTube. On the long quest for knowledge which follows, Kiki and Bubu learn all about Internet censorship. And love.


Join us for the Florida premiere of Kiki and Bubu's longest (50 minutes!) and most epic movie adventure!
monochrom's Johannes Grenzfurthner will present the film and share some behind-the-scenes knowledge. Yada, yada!

monochrom's DER EXOT: a mobile anti-crowd source robot

monochrom content info
Der Exot is the resurrection of a project monochrom started as early as 1997: a mobile robot with a mounted camera that can be controlled via web interface. But that's tricky. If too many people try to control the robot at the same time it is counter-productive. Der Exot would behave schizophrenically. It would move without plan, and wander aimlessly. Der Exot is the anti-crowd source robot. The users have to discuss and cooperate via a chat interface to communicate where they want to go, what corners they want to explore, what to crush.


Der Exot is currently visiting London and is stationed at the Science Museum.

Future plans? Building mazes! And the Internets will have to rescue our poor robot!

It's time for Roboexotica 2011

monochrom content info

Roboexotica is the annual festival where scientists, researchers, computer experts and artists from all over the world build cocktail robots and discuss technological innovation, futurology and science fiction.Until recently, no attempts had been made to publicly discuss the role of cocktail robotics as an index for the integration of technological innovations into the human Lebenswelt, or to document the increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in man-machine communication. Roboexotica is an attempt to fill this vacuum. It is the first and, inevitably, the leading festival concerned with cocktail robotics world-wide. A micro mechanical change of paradigm in the age of borderless capital. Alan Turing would doubtless test this out. Cheers!

Roboexotica is a coproduction of monochrom, Shifz and the Bureau for Philosophy.

December 1-4, 2011 in Vienna, Austria.

monochrom's BRAVE NEW PONG at Pixxelpoint 2011

monochrom content info

"The title for the 12th edition of Pixxelpoint 2011 is appropriately enigmatic: LETS GET READY..., merely defines a space of engagement driven forward by a generative force: 'to begin again from the beginning' for those who seek what formulates new media art in its fluent transition between the various manifestations, which can take on new meanings in multiple contextual re-configurations no matter what of their materiality or mediality. Especially when considering the articulations from the fundamental/historical register to what this could foster at the intersection of new media art's "mission, its destiny."

December 2-9, 2011 at Pixxelpoint 2011 - Let's Get Ready, Bevkov trg 4, 5000 Nova Gorica, Slovenia.

Telecompaper reports on monochrom's Wolo Award

monochrom content info
The fourth 'Wolfgang Lorenz Memorial prize for Internet-Free Minutes' has been awarded to A1 Telekom Austria CEO Hannes Ametsreiter by the Monochrom artists' collective. He won the booby prize for his rejection in February of the idea of net neutrality, saying the operator owns the technology and infrastructure and therefore should have the right to decide how it is used. The prize is named after the director of Austrian broadcaster ORF, who made a scatalogical remark in 2008 about young people disappearing into the internet. Lorenz said TV would remain the top medium with or without young viewers.

monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
