On April 27, I viewed Mind Over Money on Nova. The documentary portrays different theories by economists about emotional and rational decisions. I found the documentary of interest in part because throughout the program an experiment with a twenty dollar bill, which sold for twenty-eight dollars during an auction, was used as an example of how emotion and peer pressure may play a role in economic decisions. This experiment reminded me of an art performance I organized during a 1998 residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, where I auctioned two hundred dollars for two hundred and five dollars.
