Mum look I'm on TV!
Custom deepfake model, iptv stream
Shown here installed at Tate Modern, developed as part of a residency funded by Anthropic.
A custom deepfake model trained on my face is applied to live television broadcasts – here I used GB news and UFO conspiracy channels.
Designed to investigate the role generative AI plays in the current post-truth media landscape, the people on television have their faces replaced by a glitchy, ghostly version of me, all in real time.
This homogenising effect prompts reflection on the centralised control over generative AI systems, with individual Technocrats able to leverage these systems to spread misinformation on a mass scale.
