Johannes Grenzfurthner artist, director, writer, DIY researcher and friend of the show,\\xa0Maury Showbizawitz, are our guests this week on Yoshi Didn\\u2019t. Johannes founded Monochrom, an international art and theory group dedicated to subversive art as \\u201cweapons of mass distribution.\\u201c Johannes pulled off one of the most interesting pranks in the art world at the Biennial Conference in Sao Paolo, Brazil by submitting a fictitious artist, G.P. Thomann as a representative of Austria. The prank went undetected by curators and journalists and inadvertently helped save a Taiwanese artist\\u2019s representation at the conference when the Chinese government became involved; consequently making headlines news in China! Johannes\\u2019 stories cross many intellectual and artistic realms as he discusses post modern liberalism, the future of sex with robots at Arse Electronica, how, exactly, he pranked a world art conference and what it really means to subvert the subversive.\\xa0
