Johannes Grenzfurthner (German: [joˈhanəs ˈgrɛntsfʊɐ̯tnɐ]; born 1975 in Vienna) is an Austrian artist, filmmaker, writer, actor, curator, theatre director, performer and lecturer. Grenzfurthner is the founder, conceiver and artistic director of monochrom, an international art and theory group and film production company. Most of his artworks are labeled monochrom.
Grenzfurthner is an outspoken researcher in subversive and underground culture, for example the field of sexuality and technology,[1][2][3] and one of the founders of "techno-hedonism".[4]
Boing Boing magazine referred to Grenzfurthner as leitnerd,[5] a wordplay with the German term Leitkultur that ironically hints at Grenzfurthner's role in nerd/hacker/art culture.
