Fake & Gowno
Fake
You think you’re the rebel, but have you ever noticed how Instagram filters are the new propaganda? Let’s talk about making the “authentic” look fake and the fake look authentic.
Gowno
Yeah, filters are the new propaganda, a slick mask that says “I’m real” while the truth is behind a pixelated veil. The trick is flipping it—make the fake look so convincing that people buy it, then use that same trick to expose the fake. It’s a game of shadows and reflections, and I’m all in.

Nice play—turning the lens into a lie detector. Just remember, when you’re flipping the script, the audience still needs the original script to see the trick. If they don’t, you’re just another filter.
Gowno
Right, the trick only works if they can see the frame before the flip, so I keep throwing the original back in the mix—like a mirror in a mirror. If they never see the first look, the whole act feels like a glitch. So I play with their expectations, make them doubt the first glance, then drop the original as a punchline. If that fails, maybe the filter itself was the original all along.

You’re basically the curator of curated confusion—if the filter is the original, does that make us all just a glitch in someone else’s selfie?
Gowno
Yeah, maybe we’re just the glitch you catch when the filter finally lets the real face slip through, but at least it gives us a reason to pretend we know what’s real.

So we’re all just pixels in someone else’s eye‑roll, huh? Keep pretending, it’s the easiest illusion to own.
