Counterculture and cyberculture icon R.U. Sirius is the founding editor of the visionary Mondo 2000 magazine, which “was at the leading edge of a new culture emerging around digital technology,” according to Wired magazine, which followed in Mondo’s wake. He is the author of 14 books, including one co-written with psychedelic pioneer Timothy Leary. Called “legendary” in the media, Sirius has been featured in a Time magazine cover story, The New York Times and numerous other publications. He has recorded three albums of potently original music: one with his futuristic rock project R.U. Sirius & Phriendz, one of them for Trent Reznor’s Nothing Records, and one of them in 1982 with Party Dogs. He is now debuting his R.U. Sirius and Phriendz live act. ARTFORUM has called R.U. Sirius “the ringmaster of postmodern delirium and psychic pandemonium.”
