With all the ridiculous awesomeness that has been
floating out around the webs from last weekend's
Arse Elektronika 2009 festival in San Francisco,
I figure it's an appropriate time to introduce
the most recent featured guest at ROFLCon II.
To be explicit, we're extraordinarily happy today
to announce that Johannes Grenzfurthner, founder
of monochrom, will be attending ROFLCon II! For
those who don't know already, I could talk at
length about the sheer badassery this gent
produces: from their slickly sold wares to the
creation of crypto-fictional finicky, irascible
art geniuses, but I'll pretty much let him speak for himself in his bio:
Johannes Grenzfurthner's worldly existence could
be summarized as artist, writer, director,
researcher and troublemaker. He founded monochrom
(an internationally acting art-tech-theory group)
and as part of monochrom hhe is responsible for
Soviet Unterzoegersdorf and other tour-de-farce
intertube occurrences. He is head of Arse
Elektronika (sex and tech) festival in San
Francisco and co-hosts Roboexotica (the only and
therefore leading festival for
Cocktail-Robotics). He holds a professorship for
art theory and art practice at the University of
Applied Sciences, Graz, Austria. Tag cloud:
crisis, language, culture, self-content,
identity, utopia, mania, despair, powernapping.
Johannes actually sent me a photo of him being
exploded in two by a landmine from Monochrom's
homebrew adventure game Soviet Unterzoegersdorf 2
but I think this recent one above from
Laughiing Squid will more than suffice.
