  • The Superusers! Performance and films

    We’re all users.
    But not everybody is a Superuser.
    We all use.
    But never as much as The Superusers.


    The Superusers is a vehicle for artists to extend their practice into unknown territories. Members of The Superusers are involved in performance, music, film, programming, installation, literature, and costume. Members may incorporate their existing work from any medium, which is then adapted into a dynamic and cohesive audio-visual performance. The result is a retroactive combination of aggressive audio-visual media with the absurdist humor of dada and expanded cinema. The message is EXCESS!

    The Superusers was created by Australian-born-Berlin-based artist Scott Sinclair in 2010. Scott currently performs as the central member of the group in collaboration with like-minded artists from around the world.
