“Exploiting the global visibility of the Olympic Brand, the ambiguous www.peking2008.com domain has been used by Les Liens Invisibles as a powerful advertising medium to subvert attention economy mechanisms and to promote the tactical (ab)use of fake-publishing as a new paradoxical way to reclaim the Truth.

(*) Please note that all offers from sponsors will cover the cost of renting the domain.”

Les Liens invisibles is an imaginary art-group from Italy. Their artworks are based on the invisible links between the infosphere, neural synapsis, and real life. See also: “Have a Fake!”
