UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist group created in Vienna, Austria in 1999 by Hans Bernhard (founder of etoy) and Lizvlx. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most uncatchable identities - controversial and iconoclast - of the contemporary European techno-fineart avantgarde. ubermorgen is a German word for "the day after tomorrow" or "super-tomorrow". The permanent amalgamation of fact and fiction points toward an extremely expanded concept of one's working materials, which for UBERMORGEN.COM also include international rights [Legal Art], democracy and global communication networks. French philosopher Jean Baudrillard once said about UBERMORGEN.COM: "ubermorgen means the day after tomorrow, a slight tip towards their aestehtic and activist vision and prejudice, they are hardcore and radical in their actions and they are extremely strange and highly intelligent people".
