Ubermorgen
artist duo
UBERMORGEN is a Swiss-Austrian digital art duo founded in 1995 by Liz Haas, known as lizvlx, and Luzius Bernhard, also credited in earlier works as Hans Bernhard. Emerging from the 1990s net.art and Internet art scenes, the duo became known for projects that combine conceptual art, media hacking, software, performance, installation and online intervention.
UBERMORGEN's work frequently uses the language and interfaces of corporations, legal systems, state institutions and online platforms. Their best-known projects include Voteauction (2000), an online intervention that presented itself as a marketplace for buying and selling votes during the 2000 United States presidential election; the EKMRZ Trilogy, consisting of Google Will Eat Itself, Amazon Noir and The Sound of eBay; and later works involving machine learning, blockchain systems and artificial intelligence.
The duo live and work in Basel, S-chanf near St. Moritz and Vienna. Haas and Bernhard have taught at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and are professors in the Digital Arts department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
History and work
Early net.art and online work
UBERMORGEN originated in the 1990s context of net.art, a loose international movement of artists working directly with the Internet as artistic medium, distribution channel and social space. Their early projects were shown primarily online and were connected to the broader development of Internet art and digital art in Europe and North America.
Luzius Bernhard was also involved with etoy, whose campaigns and online actions became important reference points for later forms of tactical media and Internet-based cultural intervention.

Why this record matters
The phrase “artist duo” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7876490. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2000.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
