Interview: ‘Deep fakes: Can we believe anything we see online?’, Channel 4 News

I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Channel 4 news for a short feature concerning deep fake technologies and why Daniel Howe and I created the Spectre project.

Our series of deep fake artworks were released onto Instagram as a digital intervention to challenge their policies concerning misinformation online. One of these artworks featuring a synthesised persona of Mark Zuckerberg went viral leading to official – and contradictory – statements from Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.
