UBERMORGEN.COM
The EKMRZ Trilogy

ARCO Madrid, February 11 – 16, 2008

Fabio Paris Art Gallery is proud to announce that it will be taking  
part in ARCO Madrid (Madrid, Spain, 11 – 16 February 2009) with the  
project The EKMRZ-Trilogy, by the Austrian artist duo UBERMORGEN.COM.
The gallery will be featured in the Expanded Box section, exploring  
the influences and / or uses of technologies in the arts, curated by  
Domenico Quaranta. Curatorial statement: http:// 
www.domenicoquaranta.net/ARCO2009.html

Presented for the first time as a single installation, specially  
designed for ARCO, the “e-commerce trilogy” is a complex project  
which UBERMORGEN.COM has been working on for almost four years, and  
many consider it to be the seminal work on the new frontiers of e- 
commerce, and the subtle subversion of its equilibrium.
UBERMORGEN.COM is attracted by the surface of Google, Amazon and  
eBay, the three historical e-giants which brilliantly survived the  
dotcom boom and the legendary crash at the end of that era. Back then  
and still today the three kings form the powerful spearhead of e- 
commerce (EKMRZ). UBERMORGEN.COM celebrates them in three parasitic  
operations, three parallel micro-economies that respectively buy  
Google with Google’s own money (GWEI – Google Will Eat Itself  *,  
2005 – 2006); steal books from Amazon and distribute them free on the  
web (Amazon Noir – The Big Book Crime *, 2006 – 2007), and generate  
music using eBay user data (The Sound of eBay, 2008 – 2009). The ARCO  
installation presents the iconography and mythology of the trilogy by  
means of prints, a google cheque, projections, music, animations and  
old and new technologies.
* GWEI and Amazon Noir produced in collaboration with Alessandro  
Ludovico and Paolo Cirio


UBERMORGEN.COM (lizvlx & Hans Bernhard, http:///www.ubermorgen.com)  
is an artist duo based in Vienna, Austria. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we  
can find one of the most unmatchable identities – controversial and  
iconoclast – of the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant- 
garde. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art,  
pixelpainting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and digital  
activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid  
Gesamtkunstwerk.

On occasion of the event, FPEditions (www.fpeditions.com) is  
publishing the book UBERMORGEN.COM.
