Title:

Hot Air, 2012-2013. (with Dr. Kimberley Wade)

 

Description:

A.R. Hopwood paid for Dr. Kim Wade to go on a hot air balloon ride and asked her to document it with a SenseCam (a camera that takes a photo every 30 seconds). It was in response to a false memory experiment she designed where she convinced 50% of her participants that they had been on a hot air ballon when they were young (when they hadn't) by showing them doctored photographs of the experience. See Fax on image 4 for more details.

 

Medium:

Video projection, original doctored photographs from experiment formatted as a contact sheet, framed faxed instructions.

Video: Dimensions variable (preferably a projection not a monitor)
