„…There is no point in music and sex – there has absolutely never been a point to databases filled with extremely unnecessarily gathered data from uninteresting users…” But watch out: on one hand, “the nice thing about affirmation is that one can never tell if it is at all subversive, nor if it can or should be interpreted as such”; and on the other, “entertainment products are ultimately subversive works of art, politics becomes entertainment but we do entertainment that becomes politics, even something soft and corny like The Sound of eBay…”
- Domenico Quaranta
The Sound of eBay is the third and final part of UBERMORGEN.COM’s EKMRZ Trilogy.
UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, co-founder of etoy. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art, pixel painting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk. The computer and the network are (ab)used to create art and combine its multiple forms. “Ubermorgen” is the German word both for “the day after tomorrow” and “super-tomorrow”.
