Jasper Rigole





OUTNUMBERED, a brief history of imposture, is an installation from 2009 that generates a moving image using a found panoramic photograph from 1936. The installation is computer-controlled and generates an aleatoric narrative using an extensive database of people who, in some way, are associated with imposture. It is an audiovisual installation that examines the strategies used in making documentaries, Fact Fiction novels and popular scientific equivalents. Jasper Rigole examines concepts such as authenticity and objectivity by taking on a quasi - encyclopedic approach to his subject matter and presenting it with pseudo-scientific precision. The result is an apparently detailed study of the history of falsification.
