G8 - Cops beat up handicaped demonstrator - V|07 Videoart Fair Venice



June 6, 2007, Rostock, Heiligendamm, Vienna, Berlin

The beating took place in Rostock during the night of the major  
riots, June 2, 2007, Saturday. The involved police officers beat up a  
demonstrator in a wheelchair. Lizvlx from UBERMORGEN.COM states that  
"This is the worst double-header scenario i have ever seen, police  
violence and artistic performance melted together in a unique way,  
ugly!".

"This new action video rocks" says Hans Bernhard from UBERMORGEN.COM,  
"it demonstrates the exchangeability of violence - our speciality is  
to deliver an extra portion of violence to already very brutal  
environments. We overaffirm the Madman theory".

Last year's coverage of Mayday 2006 by UBERMORGEN.COM included a  
police officer getting beat up by a some demonstrators in Berlin- 
Kreuzberg. 8 months after the release of the video, LKA Berlin (Major  
Crime Unit) investigated into the case and summoned Alister Mazzotti  
(Mazzotti Action Stunt Team).

Both actions are pure Media Hacking: no ethics, no content, no  
message. With the  „Foriginal Media Hack No. 1 and No. 2“ we follow a  
simple instruction on how to infiltrate mass media with low-tech  
instruments (email, mobile-phones, web/blog) and ambiguous data. This  
action is an experiment within this conceptual setting. It is a  
amalgamation of fact and fiction. The persiflage of the absurd.  
Minutenprotokoll der Krawalle. The gesture is very important.  
Consensual hallucination...
