<nettime> Lies Inc. in the UK

[Franco Mattes <francomattes@gmail.com>]

YES, we refused the invitation to participate in the Italian Pavilion  
at the Venice Biennale, due to its ludicrous organization.
NO, we’re not wasting time here. Please join us for a fear and  
loathing week in Sheffield, UK. On the 9th our first solo show in the  
UK opens at Site Gallery. The exhibition is called “Lies Inc.” and  
includes recent online performances such as No Fun (an intervention  
into an online video chatroom), Freedom (where we enter a multi-user  
online war game and beg not to be shot), Catt (an online meme turned  
into an art prank) and many surprises...
After the opening we’ll all go experiment the mysteries of nuclear  
energy in an abandoned factory with Plan C’s amusement ride, developed  
out of an undercover research trip to Chernobyl and the beta-preview  
of “Let Them Believe”, the short film Todd Chandler and Jeff Stark  
shot during the trip.
On June 8th we’ll be in conversation with some of our favorite artists  
& companions: legendary performer Bill Drummond, pranksters IOCOSE and  
Paolo Cirio, net artist Rafael Rozendaal and Plan C co-conspirator  
Ryan Doyle.
