Fakery of data in research is ruinous, but art has a licence to playfully subvert or embellish the real. As literary luminary Oscar Wilde, born around the corner from the gallery, had it: “Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of art.”

事实，虚构和欺骗艺术。

研究中的数据混乱是毁灭性的，但是艺术具有娱乐性地颠覆或修饰实物的许可。出生在画廊拐角处的文学名流奥斯卡·王尔德（Oscar Wilde）曾说过：“说谎，讲述美丽的不真实事物，是艺术的正确目标。”
