MUSEU

The film now serves as the centerpiece of Deepfake: Unstable Evidence on Screen, a new exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image that explores and contextualizes deepfakes: synthetic media videos in which a real-life person appears to say or do something they haven’t actually said or done, fashioned with the use of artificial intelligence. (...) “We use Nixon's resignation speech as the original video that then gets manipulated,” said co-director Panetta. “The emotion in Nixon's face, all of the original body language, the page turning: all of that really is real. But we have overlaid it, manipulated it, with another very emotional speech” — specifically, an actual script written for the president by William Safire, in case the astronauts died before they could return to Earth. https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/exhibit-how-scary-are-deepfakes

At the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, the film, presented on an older model television set in a period-appropriate living room, serves as the centerpiece of a fascinating, timely, and unsettling exhibition “Deepfake: Unstable Evidence on Screen.” The show explores the phenomenon of “deepfake” videos, which use advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning to create deceptive content, and how they are used to manipulate audiences and perpetuate misinformation or propaganda.
