This was a fabfab event co-organized by christo doherty (of wits and atjoburg) and the trinity session
Hans Bernhard’s ¬Ýstyle has been ¬Ýdescribed as “a digital mix between Andy Kaufman and Jeff Koons, his actions can be seen as underground Matthew Barney and early John¬Ý Lydon.”¬Ý¬Ý¬ÝAs the ¬Ýfounder of ¬Ýthe now legendary initiatives of etoy.com & ubermorgen.com, Hans talked about the experience of ¬Ý10¬Ý years of digital actionism, legal art, software art, net.art,¬Ýnet-exhibitionism, manic insomnia in south africa and media hacking.
Some other highlights of the talk, which took place on April 1st (yeh, been a slacking blogger) included:
- google will eat itself (new project made for joburg’s own premises gallery!)
- the unforgettable vote-auction.net
- IP-NIC
- anus scan
- and of course, the digital hijack
Dude, it was hot. Check out his stuff at the premises while you still can.
