DESCRIPTION

A group of people brutally beat up a cop during the riots in berlin-kreuzberg, 1st of may 2006. Filmed with a mobile phone (b. alex, berlin, alex10969@gmail.com). UBERMORGEN.COM declares this found footage video to be an actionist UBERMORGEN.COM art piece named„Foriginal Media Hack no. 1, Web 2.0". a physical manifestation that is to be viewed as a document of the art.

STRATEGY

Pure Media Hacking: No ethics, no content, no message. With the action „Foriginal Media Hack No. 1“ we follow a simple instruction on how to infiltrate mass media with low-tech instruments (email, mobile-phones, web/blog) and ambiguous data. This action is an experiment within this conceptual setting. It is a amalgamation of fact and fiction.

AUTHORS

UBERMORGEN.COM ( * ) specializes in Media Hacking. Their portfolio includes big time actions such as „Vote-Auction“ and the „digital hijack“ by etoy. The product of such actions is the documentation (emails, logfiles, websites, press- and blog-features). UBERMORGEN.COM captures this self-inflicted mass media storm by digitally manipulating images and texts and rerouting them back into the mass media; and by physically transforming data into foriginal objects (i.e. Paintings, Sculptures, Drawings, Installations). Mazzotti Action is a globally acting Stunt-Team based in Berlin ("V for Vendetta" by the Wachowski Bros and Oscar winning movies "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski and "Das Leben der Anderen" by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck).
