Les Liens Invisibles reveal plans for a Fake Publishing Platform

Since the beginning of this month, rumour has it that Les Liens Invisibles are planning to release a new publishing platform based on fakes.

The well-known mission of the “Imaginary Art Group” is to shake up the entire communication platforms industry: now they can finally close the game on the future of traditional web 2.0 publishing with their new artwork.

And now the revelation, directly from the voice of Les Liens Invisibles CEO, Guy McMusker: “Fake-publishing gives you the communicative power of mainstream media with all the conveniences of a blog”. In a briefing, McMusker explains to the analysts what he means by faking: “All forms of representation, all forms of narration of the Real are based on overblown mechanisms of falsity and illusion. From the languages of art to mass communication, a representation is always only a representation, a means, a fake, nothing more.”

We can only guess that this service will mark the dawning of a new information era: competitors have been warned.
