Eva & Franco Mattes are an Italian artist duo based in New York, working under the pseudonym 0100101110101101.org. Early pioneers of internet art, they were among the first artists to use the web as a creative medium. With groundbreaking works like Life Sharing, they played a key role in defining digital and networked art. Through videos, installations, and websites, their practice examines the ethical and political dimensions of life online, always with a sharp sense of dark humor. Their works are included in prominent collections such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the Whitney Museum of American Art, Fotomuseum Winterthur, X Museum, and the Walker Art Center. They have participated in major group exhibitions, including Sharjah Art Foundation (2020), SFMOMA (2019), Athens Biennale (2018), Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2018), Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2018), Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie (2017), Biennale of Sydney (2016), Whitechapel Gallery, London (2016), Minneapolis Institute of Arts (2013), Sundance Film Festival (2012), MoMA PS1, New York (2009), Performa, New York (2009, 2007), National Art Museum of China, Beijing (2008), The New Museum, New York (2005), and Manifesta 4, Frankfurt (2002). In 2001, they were among the youngest artists ever included in the Venice Biennale.
