Alter Ego/RIPS Investigates
Delivery: 1st October 2007 to 1st April 2008
Artists: Kim Wiltshire (Creative Writer) and Mat Johns (Video Artist)
Output: 11 videos, 1 live broadcast, dedicated Myspace and Youtube accounts
The focus of the project was to work with a group of local people to create a series of fictional programmes that would be uploaded online and presented to the public as real life. The theme chosen was ‘Most Haunted’ and the participants invented their own online persona called R.I.P.S (Rochdale Investigative Paranormal Society).
The project was delivered in partnership with Peopleprint – a community media organisation based in Kirkholt with a 23 year history of working with a wide range of creative organisations and individuals across Rochdale and Greater Manchester.
“The whole experience was excellent, enjoyable and I’ve learned so much in terms of camera work and on location” – participant from Peopleprint
The project concluded in a broadcast at Peopleprint on the 1st April which was streamed live over the internet.
