2000s
In 2000, Phettberg pioneered internet broadcasting with a weekly show, in which he delivered his Phettberg's sermon column while being bonded and whipped.
In March 2001, together with Thomas Holzinger, he produced a full week, or 168 hours of continuous live internet broadcast, during which Phettberg was guarded in the prison of the so-called Arche Phettberg (also the title of the show) by half-naked young men in blue jeans.
Also in 2001, he appeared as himself in the TV documentary Gipfeltreffen - Hermes Phettberg trifft Helge Schneider by Roger Willemsen.
In 2003 and 2004, Austrian terrestrial TV station ATVplus featured him in a show called Beichtphater Phettberg, produced and directed by his recurring team of artist companions: Thomas Holzinger, Mandy E. Mante and Paul Poet.
Since then, Phettberg has participated in a variety of artistic and public sexual performances, as well as in numerous talk shows. He is also presently a proponent for the foundation of a "Hochschule für Pornographie und Prostitution".
Kurt Palm did a documentary about and with Phettberg in 2007, "Hermes Phettberg - Elender" (Hermes Phettberg - Miserable). The documentary revolves around Phettbergs stroke as well about Phettbergs childhood and early life, trying to explain his interest in sadomasochism and his chronic depression.
