Name: Hans Bernhard
Country Of Origin: Switzerland
Country Now Residing: Austria
Title: Psychos

In March 2002, UBERMORGEN.COMs Hans Bernhard experienced a manic outbreak [bipolar affective disorder] in Capetown, South-Africa. He was airlifted to Austria – General Hospital Vienna. Two and a half years later, UBERMORGEN found video and foto footage of his stay at the Mental hospital – Station 4B, Department of Psychiatry.

We are the children of the 1980s, We are the first internet-pop-generation. We grew up with radical Michael Milken [The King of Junk Bonds] and mythical Michael Jackson [The King of Junk Pop].

Hans Bernhard is loaded with 10 years of internet & tech [digital cocaine], mass media hacking, underground techno, hardcore [illegal] drugs, rock&roll lifestyle and net.art jet set [etoy].

His neuronal networks and brain structures are similar to the global synthetic network (the internet) he helped build up and maintained subversive activity within.

And now they are “infected” by a manic-depression [WHO ICD-10, F31.1.], both Hans Bernhard and The “Network” are infected by this structural disorder.

Waves of mania and depression are running through the technical, social and economic structures.

Contemporary high-tech societies deal with hardcore brains using bio-chemical “agents” to control the internal information flow, we call them psychotropic drugs.

But how can we treat a mentally ill global network?
