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?<br>

others, their work has been comissioned and/or features by Turbulence,
LX 2.0, transmediale and Edith Russ Site for Media Art. <br>
