This description courtesy Ian Monroe of the Orlando Weekly. *Johannes Grenzfurthner*(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Grenzfurthner) *and Evelyn Fürlinger* of the *Viennese art collective * *monochrom*(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrom)were going to be paying a visit to our humble burg. *What's that? * You've never heard of *monochrom*(http://www.monochrom.at/english/)? Well, then you haven't been paying attention. If you had, you would have seen them just the other day on *Boing Boing* *collecting barcodes for Falco* (http://tv.boingboing.net/2008/01/03/bar-code-artist-scot.html). Maybe you would have seen them demonstrating how to install a *USB interface into a human spine*(http://tv.boingboing.net/2007/11/30/human-usb-hack-very.html)or singing an *8-bit love song*(http://tv.boingboing.net/2007/11/15/marks-curie-engine-m.html)to/about *Creative Commons mastermind* *Lawrence Lessig*(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig). Or maybe you're a Luddite, and you *hate the internet.* Perhaps you'd be more familiar with *Georg Paul Thomann*(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Paul_Thomann), the *fictional artist* that saved 'Taiwan' at the 2002 Sao Paulo Art Biennial? Maybe you heard about the multi-city exhibition where they *buried participants alive* (http://www.monochrom.at/experiences/alive.htm) in a * coffin* for 15 minutes. Or the time they boiled *20 gallons of Coca-Cola*down to a sludge so they could make their own *brick of coke* (http://www.monochrom.at/experiences/coke.htm). Perhaps you'll be familiar with *Arse Elektronika*(http://laughingsquid.com/arse-elektronika-2007-photos/)(a conference in San Francisco earlier this year that explored the intersection of *art, pornography and technology*). Or maybe with the * Roboexotica* (http://www.roboexotica.com/en/mainentry.htm) conference, which celebrates the state of the art in *cocktail robotics.* Or the *International Year of Polytheism* (http://www.monochrom.at/polytheism/) (*"The number of the beast is one."*)? I could go on all day. These cats have an extensive resumé of this kind of *subversive, socio-political, and self-referential thought-art.* But even now, I can hear you saying, "What does all this mean to me?" Great question. Glad you asked. As it turns out, *monochrom* is kind enough to have put together a *little presentation* for us while they visit sunny Florida. And you're *lucky enough* to be invited. Of course, the only venue in town that's crazy enough to host this kind of *weirdo party* is the incomparable *Redlight Redlight*(http://www.myspace.com/theredlightredlight)in Winter Park. Thankfully, they're also the only venue in town with the kind of *beer selection* that I wouldn't be embarrassed share with educated European guests. (*Fantome de Noel?* They've got it. *Boon Gueze?* Nowhere else in town. *Allagash Grand Cru?* Oh yeah.) So exactly what's this show going to look like? Frankly, *I have no idea.* There's a video projector and a PA, and Dr. Xenlab will be providing some bubbly, brain-churning IDM *bumper music.* The rest we're leaving in the capable and consistently surprising hands of *monochrom.* P.S. Redlight Redlight is 21+ and takes CASH ONLY at the bar. There is an ATM inside with a $2 service charge.
