Faux Tobias Wong at Design, Wit and the Creative Act

Posted in art, design, events, hoax, humor, media, new york, people by Heather on November 10th, 2007

It’s been confirmed. The tall blond was a stand-in for the real Tobias Wong at Design, Wit and the Creative Act, hosted by Core77.

Quote from an e-mail…

Yes, you are correct. The guy who said he was Tobias Wong at the conference was not. [X] and I got the info from a woman who was helping at the conference when we were walking out. Apparently, they really organized it and practiced the questions ahead of time so that he would answer them to sound like Tobias Wong.

So, dear design community, you’ve been duped (and so have I).

 

As I wrote in my as-yet-unanswered e-mail to Ze Frank earlier today, seeking confirmation about the hoax…

“Though I am not personally a fan of being played for a fool, I get the joke. It’s a commentary on the nature of popularity through art and not through your own person. A commentary on how trust operates, a la Clay Shirky’s notion of social capital. And a commentary on how people in the art world are suckers.

I’m very surprised that those who are actually involved in the industry and claimed to be familiar with his work prior to the conference didn’t say a word. Only one other person who I talked to during cocktail hour mentioned being surprised at his uber-American appearance, but that’s where the conversation stopped. Oh the poor boy who had ‘Tobias’ sign his poster… he’ll feel like such a dope. Not to mention the others who gathered around him with praise and questions.”
