ARTIST STATEMENT
Psychotic events and practices happen unnoticed and slowly over time, to fully accept them we need to acclimatize and familiarize ourselves. Newspeak terminology such as "enhanced interrogation" and "extraordinary rendition" were the main objective of this long term research project started in 2007 by UBERMORGEN.COM. The Superenhanced Generator and the performances and installations utilizing this interrogation software were pervert metastases of this global cancer. Series of photos, videos, texts and other forms of documentation, description and visualization were other objects and points of reference for publications online and in print and for exhibitions. In 2010 TORTURECLASSICS grew out of this sickening body of data and became the universal pop spin-off and liberating end point of the Superenhanced experience.
