STORIES WITHOUT BOUNDARIES BUT FULL OF LIES
In conversation with Les Liens Invisibles
http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=4325

Les Liens Invisibles is an imaginary, Italy-based artists' duo
comprising Clemente Pestelli and Gionatan Quintini. Their work is an
eclectic recombination of pop net culture, reverse-engineering
techniques, social media subvertising and any other kind of media
re-appropriation. Since 2007 Les Liens Invisibles have been
infiltrating the global communication networks in order to join and
expand the invisible connections between art and real life. Most of
their artworks and interventions - which include a virtual suicide web
service, the subvertising of many popular social networking platforms
and a paradoxical tool to reclaim the truth through the fake - have
achieved global media visibility and have been shown internationally.
In activist manner, Les Liens Invisibles initiated the social petition
platform Repetitionr.com in early 2010, a platform that "grants the
success of every campaign proposed, offering the most advanced
internet technologies to make participatory democracy a truly
user-centered experience. Just a click and Repetitionr.com will fill
your petitions with millions of self-generated fake signatures
indistinguishable from the real ones." A fake or not a fake?

Les Liens Invisibles have been shown internationally at venues such as
Arnolfini, Bristol (UK), MOTA - Museum of Transitory Art, Lubljana
(Slovenia) or Galerija Galzenica, Velika Gorica (Croatia). Amongst
others, their work has been comissioned and/or features by Turbulence,
LX 2.0, transmediale and Edith Russ Site for Media Art.
