0100101110101101.org
0100101110101101.org is the home of digital rebels Eva and Franco Mattes. Creating compelling digital and physical art since 1998 these two seek to obtain ‘the largest visibility with minimal effort’.

I really enjoy their shock tactics and also the convergence / blurred reality between online and physical life.
