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.
