An (extra)ordinary place for a hijacking advertising

Description

While the olympic curtain softly falls on the chinese repression in
Tibet, the imaginary art-group Les Liens Invisibles celebrates the
upcoming Olympic Games with a new fake-based hybridation between art,
activism and advertising strategies.
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.
