Launch #FAKE Science Gallery Dublin @SciGalleryDub [#geekgirl]

From fake meat to fake emotions, if faking it gets the job done, who cares? In both the natural world and human society, faking, mimicking and copying can be a reliable strategy for success. When the focus is on how things appear, a fake may be just as valuable as the real thing. But what about replicating taste, emotions, chemical signatures, facts and trademarks? Have patents, politics, and art given copying a bad name?

From biomimicry to forged documents, from scandals to substitutes, FAKE: THE REAL DEAL?, the new free exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, asks when authenticity is essential, when copying is cool, and what the boundary is between a fakery faux-pas and a really fantastic FAKE.

Join them for a real look at everything faux at our FAKE launch party. Nialler9 will be playing a savvy setlist of covers, our mediators will be on hand to guide you through the exhibits and you can indulge in some food fakery from our café.
