monochrom art group

art projects

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. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993 and this is what we have done so far.

Razzennest, monocon, Arse Elektronika, Roboexotica say: YES, they still exist! March 1993 Johannes Grenzfurthner and Franz Ablinger published the first print issue and an online version of their underground magazine monochrom. Since then the group works with all kinds of mediaand formats, is still searching for the "best weapon of mass distribution". The motto is context hacking: subversive and discursive narratives in the fight against ignorance.

Afterwards, it's off to the Graz PPC where DJs Wild Evel, Frieda Phoenix, Tina 303 and Grenzfurthner himself will be "givingthe spermatic cords and ovaries and everything in between a good shake."

monochrom is...

...an art-technology-philosophy group of basket weaving enthusiasts and theory do-it-yourselfers.
...the super-affirmation of the globalization trap.
...an offer, for a limited time only, to partake of our guided tours and travel services.
...but it is also a collage with archive and an alternative listing system that understands how to evade mainstream agricultural influence through the art of movement.

An Informative Text Blurb

I remember when I first rented Alien at a local video rental store. I couldn't wait to get home and finally see it. But at the point where the beast should have burst out of the little guy's breast there was nothing left to see except interference - all the freak-fans who had previously rented the movie had rewatched that very scene again and again and so often that the tape was completely buggered. Art shouldn't have a rewind button. Period.
