Circular Interaction : My work in design aims, in addition to any more immediate aim, to inspire others with the enriching possibilities of design so that they can use new elements of design creatively in their own lives. The inspiration I find in the world around me therefore travels full circle.

For some decades now, techniques of the “virtual” have been gaining in social and artistic importance. By contrast, until now, the aesthetic and epistemic structure of the “virtual” has remained unclear. It is to this desideratum that the graduate program “Aesthetics of the Virtual” devotes itself. The objective is to give ten scholarship hol

False Memory Archive 

Based upon fascinating scientific research that demonstrates how susceptible we are to false memories, A.R. Hopwood's False Memory Archive features artworks and a unique collection of vivid personal accounts of things that never really happened. Opening with a display of digitally manipulated photographs of UFO sightings, Hopwood’s work evocatively reflects the way we creatively reconstruct our sense of the past, while providing insight into the often humorous, obscure and uncomfortable things people have misremembered.

Hopwood frequently collaborates with psychologists and neuroscientists to revisit key experiments, reflecting on the history and consequences of this provocative field of memory research. Projects include a series of works made with Professor Elizabeth Loftus (University of California, Irvine), whose ongoing research has explored how memories of fictional experiences can be created through suggestion and coercion by an authority figure. Her seminal book The Myth of Repressed Memory (1994, with Katherine Ketcham) raised significant questions about the veracity of ‘repressed memories’ recovered in certain forms of therapy and is now considered to be one of the most important contributions to the scientific study of memory. Hopwood has also collaborated with Professor Christopher French (Goldsmiths College) to establish a participatory archive where people can submit their own false or non-believed memories and he has developed new art works with Professor Giuliana Mazzoni (University of Hull); Dr James Ost (University of Portsmouth); Dr Kimberly Wade (University of Warwick) and Professor Sergio Della Sala (University of Edinburgh).

False Memory Archive includes new site-specific work developed with each exhibition partner including the Mead Gallery at the University of Warwick, The University of Edinburgh's Talbot Rice Gallery, Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange, The Freud Museum London and Carroll/Fletcher London. The objects, texts and collaborations gathered for the exhibition collectively explore where the truth lies in a ‘false’ recollection, while examining the role artists can play in representing scientific information to the public.

Lecture . The Changing Gaze . 

From Observation to Surveillance by Sandra S. Phillips

The below text from C/O Berlin. 

Since the rise of photography as a medium in the late 19th century, people have been fascinated by the diverse possibilities of cameras and in particular capturing everyday moments – both public and private. From the beginning, photography documented more than just posed portraits and staged situations, but rather also fulfilled the various objectives of observation and exposure, such as with political war reports and commercial Paparazzi images. For all of these photos, personal borders were crossed, intimate topics published, the undiscovered revealed and taboos consciously broken. Whether the respective images were produced secretly or openly constituted just one aspect of it. The prevailing reception, interpretation and further use of the visual material seems to almost be more important than the concrete reason for taking the photographs. The curator and art historian Sandra S. Phillips explores in her lecture some of the more invasive and disconcerting aspects of photography and how our perception of photography has changed in recent decades – particularly in the current context of the problematic nature of surveillance. She outlines both the historical development and the massive shift of voyeurism as well as planned surveillance in the digitalized age. Sandra S. Phillips studied at Bard College and Bryn Mawr College and earned her doctorate at the City University of New York. She was a curator at Vasser College Art Museum and has taught at various institutions including the State University of New York, the Parsons School of Design, the San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute. She was a resident at the American Academy in Rome and was awarded a scholarship from The Japan Foundation. Sandra S. Phillips has been senior curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art since 1999. She has curated numerous exhibitions on modern and contemporary photography – including “Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera Since 1870”, “Crossing the Frontier: Photographs of the Developing West” and “Police Pictures: The Photograph as Evidence”. www.co-berlin.org
