The HEK Net Works series features a net-based project produced specifically for our online spaces, website and social networks. This month we present crypto manifesto token #01-#10 by UBERMORGEN.

HEK Net Works - UBERMORGEN

Neither political nor ideological - but definitely actionist, investigative and sometimes provocative – that's how the internationally active artist duo UBERMORGEN present themselves. The work of lisvlx and Luzius Bernhard is based on extensive research and usually results in net-based projects, code and deliberately disruptive interventions in various systems – be it mass media, technologies or even the legal order.

UBERMORGEN first appeared in international media when they launched their famous political discourse intervention, Vote-Auction. The Vote-Auction online platform was created during the 2000 US presidential election and claimed to allow Americans to sell their vote online. Other works by UBERMORGEN are no less provocative and critical. GWEI – Google will Eat itself aims to deconstruct Google as a global player by developing a system of economic auto-cannibalism in which money generated through the use of advertisement space is automatically invested in Google shares and re-distributed to a common ownership trust.

The duo have also tried their hand in the medium of NFTs, an early iteration being The D1cks – two of which belong to the HEK collection. In this NFT series UBERMORGEN critically poke fun at the growing public desire for designer PFPs (Profile Pictures) by creating a collection of pixelised penis PFPs. In their newest NFT collection UBERMORGEN once again take an ironic approach to the provocative hype of the international crypto market with their crypto manifesto token #1-#10 series. Described as „haute couture“ NFTs, crypto manifesto tokens, which are based on the duos new 10 part manifesto, will be launched every three days in October / November as part of HEK Net Works and minted on the fx(hash) platform.
