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.
