Junction: William Hunt - 'I don't believe you, you're a liar'
Artist William Hunt transforms the Artists' Studio into a recording studio and invites singer songwriters to be hooked up to a polygraph machine (lie detector). He explores the ability to separate mind from body asking is it truly heartfelt or are they just pushing our buttons?
“I don’t believe you, you’re a liar” was Bob Dylan’s response to a heckler in 1966 during a performance at the Free Trade Hall when he had made the transition to electric. Acoustic and especially folk music had traditionally been associated with protest and the authentic.
Perform with a lie detector - to book your performance with the polygraph machine contact Camden Arts Centre on 0207 472 5500. Or visit during an open studio and take in the view from the production box.
At the final performance in King's Cross on 30 May 'Saturday Night TV' acts perform linked up to a lie detector and are critiqued not only on their singing talent but on their genuineness. The final is judged by a ‘celebrity panel’ along with the audience who are asked to shout “play loud, play real loud” or “I don’t believe you, you’re a liar”. Join some members of the audience by dressing as Bob Dylan.
