EoDD/XVM, a collective of conceptual art works initiated by Bernd Schurer, emerged as a revolutionary force in the nascent days of the internet art world in the late 1990s. Their creations transcended traditional mediums, utilizing hypertext, the internet, and analog and digital sound computers. Unlike conventional art, XVM prioritized ideas, perception, and critical reflection over physical objects, spectacle, and performance. By challenging established art concepts and rejecting non-systematic approaches to philosophical debate, system theory, and cybernetics, they fundamentally redefined notions of authorship, (re-)presentation, and art-making. The group’s work centered around probing the systems that imbue art with meaning. Through their antiorp.net channel, XVM engaged in “Art as Philosophy,” presenting powerful sound pieces, obfuscated HTML code, and introspective musings and ramifications as schizo-personas.
