The beginning of the 21st century encapsulates us in artificially constructed and imaginary (visual) worlds. It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate between representation and modelled reality. Self-expression, self-orchestration – the design of the perceivable reality is an increasingly important factor in business. The authentic is invisible and life stories are (perfectly) constructed.
The international symposium REAL FAKE — reality as image :: image as reality on 28 May 2010 in Linz is on a quest to find the authentic portrayal and creation of realities for companies, organisations, people and our surroundings.
Artists, designers, academics and business experts will discuss how they interact with reality. How can pure design and photography positively shape the perception of reality? The symposium provides insights into the multifaceted coherence between business, design and image.
