the walk

On April 1, 2000 at approximately 10:00 am, the fraud began.

It started in Newcomb Hall Artspace, where students had hung framed displays of their fake projects. Refreshments and yummy fruits and cheese were served, and the event was kicked off by a short and mostly coherent speech by the project's mastermind, Bogdan Achimescu.
The first leg of the tour involved a trip around Charlottesville on an invisible bus. These photographs have been digitally manipulated in order to make you, the viewer's, experience of the bus seem more concrete.
