Have a Fake!
Thursday, March 20th, 2008“A Fake is A Fake” Is a new communication/media-criticism ongoing art-project from Les Liens Invisibles. It’s a free service where you can run a blog with ready-made themes that are clones of popular CI’s like Financial Times, White House or the Bundeskanzlerin design. “Get a free Account, choose a mask, start faking!”
“You were told that a new democracy of communication was possible, that the lies of corporate media were to disappear and that your voice was going to play an active role in the formation of public discourse.
You were deluded into believing that even the world, this world, would become a better place through detailed diffusion of low-cost technologies, through the birth of telematic networks and the establishment of blogs and social networks.
While the watered-down fantasies that came with the rise of web 2.0 are being dissolved, a bitter consciousness remains: that communication itself, after all, is an illusion. That information, however probable it may seem, is still a fiction and that a fake, in the end, is only a fake. Anyway.”
Looks like great fun and i allways loved the idea of deconstructing corporates by simply faking their look. “A Fake is A Fake” takes the primary punk method a step further into our 2008 digital era. Nice!
