Les Liens Invisibles (2010)
In the post-idealist era, the success of a campaign is increasingly reliant on instantaneous statistical surveys promoted to shift opinion towards defined positions. Repetitionr.com is the ultimate social petition platform that grants the success of every campaign proposed, thanks to an automatic increasing of millions of self-generated fake signatures indistinguishable from the real ones. This new commission by Les Liens Invisibles investigates the hallucinatory effects of activist/hacktivist/artivist practices in the age of media democracy.
Les Liens Invisibles is an imaginary art-group from Italy. It is comprised of media artists Clemente Pestelli and Gionatan Quintini. Their artworks are based on the invisible links between the infosphere, neural synapsis, and real life.
