agent-provocateur.ch is an art-project by martin heller, johannes gees and juri steiner. all of them expo.02 vets. yup. this is how they describe their project on the website:
agent-provocateur.ch is an independent “non-profit” project for the production and distribution of video-spots of Swiss cultural activists that deal with contemporary social and political issues. The spots are between 30-90 seconds of length and can be shown in television, on public video screens, in cinemas and on websites.
