Abstract
“How to Build a Lie” is a lecture/video by Jamie Allen
and Moritz Greiner-Petter, the final part of an apocryphal technologies
artistic research project into media objects and technologies associated
with “lie detection” and “truth verification”.
The arc of this research includes a physical recreation of a voice
stress analysis machine that analyses the self-read audiobook versions
of presidential autobiographies, The Lie Machine (2014); a residency
with the Media Archeology Lab in Denver, Colorado; a thematic exhibition
at Dateline gallery; a publication with Counterpath Press upon which
this lecture/video is based. Texts contains excerpts of writing by
Ursula Le Guin, Avital Ronell, Paul Feyerabend, Geoff Bunn, Charles
Darwin, amongst others. Video materials were culled from various online
sources, including “The Old Typewriter”, “Die Wiege des Kinos” and “Der
Mensch als Industriepalast”, also amongst others.
“How to Build a Lie” lecture/video was commissioned by the
Archaeologies of Media and Technology (AMT) group at University of
Southampton, Winchester School of Art (Dr. Jussi Parikka and Dr. Ryan
Bishop) for the group’s public launch event, Future Past Tense on
October 26, 2016, organised in collaboration with the transmediale
festival.
