Listen "21.02.17 Agora Talk 17: Lend Me Your Face – Go Fake Yourself! – Tamiko Thiel and Jon Uriarte"
Episode Synopsis
Tamiko Thiel, Multimedia artist and Jon Uriarte, Digital Curator at The Photographers’ Gallery for Lend Me Your Face – Go Fake Yourself! a participatory deep fake artificial intelligence project on view at TPG until 17 March 2021.
This project uses deep fake artificial intelligence technology to animate single photos of faces with facial expressions and body language "borrowed" from driving videos of public figures.
With deep fake AI technology, the face - the most intimate and yet public part of the self - and the emotions it expresses can more and more easily be manipulated and placed in contexts out of the control of the "lenders" of the faces themselves.
What have we learned?
How the project Lend Me Your Face – Go Deepfake Yourself! is a performative participatory project.
We can reflect upon the limitation of the machine with its imperfection and glitch.
The models were chosen because they were specific to a particular political moment.
The Photographers Gallery has a wonderful gold mine of information about the evolution of imagery and Data sets. Check the links below.
Today, artists and photographers have to learn both: lens work and software skills. And, Computational Photography is rapidly evolving.
