The Mattes’ have been working together since 1999, creating online and real world interventions. Projects include creating and releasing a computer virus for the 49th Venice Biennale, tricking Vienna’s citizens into believing that Nike intended to rebrand the Karlsplatz town square and their Synthetic Performances series. Check out the video of their Synthetic Performances to see how they reenacted legendary performances by artists such as Chris Burden, Gilbert & George and Marina Abramovic, inside synthetic, immersive worlds such as Second Life. Visit the Diplomazia section of their site to see their upcoming exhibitions, including The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow group show at the Plymouth Arts Centre in January 2010.
