Deepfake Derrida: A Study in Young Derrida Speaking 'I Love You'
2022 

Video file, microcomputer, silicone
~5"(W) x 5"(H) x 12"(D)

Deepfake of Jacques Derrida trained on interviews and lectures, 'Derrida on Love and Being', 'Derrida on Deconstruction', and 'Derrida on Archive Fever in South Africa (August 1998)'  sourced from YouTube. Deepfakes use AI and Machine Learning, specifically Deep Learning techniques to imagine what a young Derrida may have looked like and spoken 'I love you' based on the source interview footage and stock video footage of a young model in the likeness of Derrida.

Pre/Post/Eros 2.0 (ongoing)

Pre/Post/Eros 2.0 is a continuation of Pre/Post/Eros and includes the same concerns present in my older works. This series specifically focuses on a deliberate conflation of ‘the spectator’ with ‘the consumer’ within institutional spaces while homing in on the connection between scopophilia (the love of looking) and consumption. Some of the works in Pre/Post/Eros 2.0 were thought of before the COVID-19 pandemic, yet some of them can become even more appropriate to our economic reality when contextualized in the post-COVID-19 era.
