Data Art. Real time. Archiv database. Material rendering. Film photo video. Mapping. UBERMORGEN at Carroll/Fletcher, London. UBERMORGEN, Perpetrator i (2008) detail. Pigment Print on Paper, 220 x 146 cm. Edward Snowden, MMO gamming sweatshops in China, torture as participatory art, madness, and the troubled life of a Guantanamo Bay prison guard. The diverse research-based practice of Swiss-Austro-American duo UBERMORGEN makes a sustained assault on the notion that individual autonomy, liberty, privacy, and agency remain intact in advanced capitalist societies. Birthed in the mid-'90s heyday of highly politicized net.art, their project shatters the myth that democratic freedoms are being facilitated or enhanced by modern network technologies.
