Fakeshop is both an ongoing electronic art project and a performance
and installation series. The website serves a dual function:
broadcasting Fakeshop's live performances in real time and
later exhibiting extracts from these performances in what
founder Jeff Gompertz describes as "a series of multimedia
tableaux vivants." A visit to the website automatically opens
a series of windows that reproduce text and still and moving
images, accompanied by a soundtrack. In conjunction with the
"2000 Biennial," Fakeshop will produce a live event, developed
in collaboration with other digital artists, musicians, and
theorists.
