Week 10: The powers of the false (Nov. 19)

WORKS

Walid Raad/Atlas Group—Quarrel / The Bachar Tapes

Ant Farm—The Eternal Frame

Martha Rosler—If It’s Too Good to be True, It Could Be DISINFORMATION

David Thorne / Julia Meltzer

EXERCISE: THE LIE.

2-minutes on the nose.

Video you have shot yourself.

No voice-over.

A minimum of 7 shots. (No maximum.)

The images are organized so as to tell a lie.

(How can images be made to lie about something without a voice-over steering you along?)

NOTE: The idea is not to film a falsehood (a “fake-news-style” caption for instance). It’s the sequence of images that tells the lie.

NEXT WEEK

ONE-ON-ONE ZOOM MEETINGS (schedule TBD)
