	OUT NOW! UBERMORGEN.COM Domenico Quaranta (ed), UBERMORGEN.COM, FPEditions, Brescia, February 2009. Euro 25,00, ISBN: 978-88-903308-5-8, 96 pages, English. With texts by Inke Arns and Jodi.org. UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, in 1999 by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most unmatchable identities – controversial and iconoclast – of what they call “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. This monograph is a first attempt to provide an overview of their hybrid body of work, that moves constantly between art and entertainment, mass communication and one-to-one experience, digital and physical; and to introduce their corporate identity, that is itself a work of art. Through projects such as [V]ote Auction, Psych\|OS, Art Fid, Superenhanced and the recent monument to the e-commerce age known as The EKMRZ Trilogy, and trough contributions by the art critics Inke Arns and Domenico Quaranta and the legendary net.art duo Jodi.org, this book is also a veritable portrait of a future that is already here.

	OUT NOW: RE:AKT! Antonio Caronia, Janez Jansa, Domenico Quaranta (eds), RE:akt! Reconstruction, Re-enactment, Re-reporting, FPEditions, March 2009. Euro 25,00, ISBN: 978-88-903308-6-5, English. With contributions by: Jennifer Allen, Antonio Caronia, Rod Dickinson, Domenico Quaranta, Jan Verwoert. Just what is it that leads many contemporary artists to restage historic events, performances of the past, even imaginary events? Are they possessed by the post-modern demon? Does this practice spring from a cynical awareness of the decline of values? Is it yet another variation on “the end of history”? Or is it simply the end of the modern myth of the “originality” of the work of art, and an attempt to find a different, deeper path to critique the medial ideology of contemporary society? Through the texts of critics, theorists and artists as Jennifer Allen, Antonio Caronia, Rod Dickinson, Domenico Quaranta and Jan Verwoert, and through the works by Lucas Bambozzi, Vaginal Davis, Quentin Drouet, Janez Jansa, Janez Jansa, Janez Jansa, Eva and Franco Mattes (aka 0100101110101101.ORG) and SilentCell Network, RE:akt! Reconstruction, Re-enactment, Re-reporting wants to offer some answers to these questions linked to the artistic practice of re-enactment and its possible redefinition.
