UBERMORGEN.COM have been hacking the world of new media since the late 1990s. They became known when they launched a (fake) website for selling and buying votes for the American Presidential Election in 2000 and were invited to explain their activity on CNN’s Burden of Proof. Since then the duo has played subversive tricks on digital voting, political attempts to assimilate Neo-Nazis in Germany society, the aesthetics of war, the gaming industry, Google, Amazon, and the fine art of painting.
