THE LIE MACHINE (2014)
Suitcase, computer, speaker, Voice Stress Analysis software, autobiographical read-by-the author audiobooks (Palin, Obama, Clinton, Bush)
Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) is a highly contested and controversial lie detection technology. Through the detection of variations in the microtremors of speech, truthfulness is evaluated through analysis of live or recorded voice. As a result, the technique can be applied surreptitiously, even posthumously, to the vast storehouses of spoken audio available.
The Lie Machine processes recorded audio with standard Voice Stress Analysis algorithms. The archive chosen for this analysis is a set of audiobook autobiographies, each read by its author: Decision Points by George W. Bush, Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin, A Journey: My Political Life by Tony Blair, My Life by Bill Clinton, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama.
The title, “The Lie Machine” is taken from a 1973 Playboy Magazine article by Craig Vetter of the same name, on the subject of the Psychological Stress Evaluator (PSE). The PSE was the first commercially available VSA-based instrument, “designed to fit into a Samsonite briefcase.” The algorithm gained notoriety recently in the U.S. trial of George Zimmerman for the charge of the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin, where Zimmerman was cleared of the charges based partly on his successful passing of a CVSA test (Computer Voice Stress Analysis).
“We are not concerned with the guilt or innocence of a suspect, only in whether or not he seems to be lying. He’s either D.I. or N.D.I. -- deception indicated or no deception indicated.” (Playboy, 1973)
The project was produced and supported by LEAP Berlin. Many thanks to John McKiernan, Daniel Franke at LEAP, as well as Samo Tadin and Tuk Bredsdorff in Copenhagen, for their interests, generosity and contributions.

The group exhibition Obsessive Sensing features works which as their basis look at the programming of the world as an expression of artistic research. The participating artists aim to ‘’sense’’ with the help of complex systems and thus to reimagine how we perceive the world. How do we go about sensing that which we cannot perceive? This is reflected in the idea of technical images, as described by Vilém Flusser – the preparation of the information which we cannot perceive for our senses. ‘’This can be achieved neither with hands nor with eyes nor with fingers, for these elements are neither graspable, nor are they visible. For this reason, apparatuses must be developed that grasp the ungraspable, visualize the invisible, and conceptualize the inconceivable.’’ (Vilém Flusser, Into the Universe of Technical Images)

Golconda Fort lies some 11 kilometres to the west of Hyderabad and is one of India's finest examples of military architecture. It was constructed - mainly of granite - by three successive dynasties between the 14th and 16th centuries. With its 10 kilometre-long outer wall, two inner walls, eight gateways and 87 semi-circular bastions, it sits on top of a 120 metre-high hill overlooking the vast Deccan plateau. The name Golconda means 'Shepherd's Hill' in Telugu. The fort fell to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1687 after a nine month-long siege and has gradually fallen into a state of ruin since then. This photograph is of the tiny Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah Mosque.

Externally unassuming, and largely rebuilt over a period of thirty years or so from the 1880s. The interior however is a spectacular jewel of a church, everything focused on the sumptuous chancel, a 1911 memorial to King Edward VII who had been bought the Sandringham estate by his mother Queen Victoria when he was Prince of Wales.
Le béguinage de Lierre est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1998 (whc.unesco.org/fr/list/855).
Il s'agit d'un béguinage typique du XIIIe siècle qui rassemble 11 ruelles et 162 maisons. Les portes d'entrée des maisonnettes portent le nom d'un saint ou d'une scène biblique. Elles datent pour la plupart des 17e et 18e siècles. Certaines présentent des avant-cours et des entrées typiques.
À l'origine, ces maisons étaient habitées par des béguines : des femmes veuves ou célibataires, très pieuses, qui pouvaient y mener une vie indépendante sous la surveillance d'une Grande Demoiselle. Elles faisaient vœu de chasteté et d'obéissance, mais pas de pauvreté. Elles subvenaient à leurs besoins grâce au tissage, à la dentelle ou à la broderie. Elles pouvaient quitter le béguinage à tout moment, mais les portes restaient fermées le soir et le dimanche. La dernière béguine lierroise, sœur Agnès, mourut en 1994.
Au centre du béguinage se dresse l'église Sainte-Marguerite.
Het begijnhof in Lier behoort sinds 1998 tot het Unesco Werelderfgoed (whc.unesco.org/en/list/855/).
Het is een typisch 13de-eeuws stratenbegijnhof met 11 smalle straatjes en 162 huisjes. Op de voordeuren van de huisjes staat een naam van een heilige of een bijbeltafereel. De meeste huisjes dateren uit de 17-18de eeuw. Sommige hebben typische voorhofjes en poortjes.
Oorspronkelijk werden de huisjes bewoond door begijntjes: alleenstaande, gelovige vrouwen die er een zelfstandig leven konden leiden onder toezicht van een grootjuffrouw. Ze legden de gelofte van zuiverheid en gehoorzaamheid af, maar niet van armoede. Ze leefden onder andere van weven of kant borduren. Ze konden vrij het begijnhof verlaten, enkel ’s avonds en op zondag bleven de poorten dicht. In 1994 stierf zuster Agnes, het laatste Lierse begijntje.
Centraal in het begijnhof vind je de Sint-Margaretakerk.
Nesta lies with other heavily pregnant woman at the Nyungwe health centre in northern Malawi. The centre serves 40,000 people over a large area. Women are asked to come and wait at the centre for the last weeks of their pregnancy to ensure they can be there when they go into labour. Many women don’t arrive in time.
“My smile is a lie, it masks my pain and hides how I truly feel. Look at my eyes and you will see the truth. My mouth lies, while my eyes can only cry.”
