Practical work and/or Internship - AI + Art project with life size human deepfake
AI + Art Project about Identity and ethical challenges in the museum and in AI
Facing ethical challenges in European museum collections around restitution by a “truth-speaking-AI”.
**AI + Art Project about Identity and ethical challenges in the museum and in AI**
Facing ethical challenges in European museum collections around restitution by a “truth-speaking-AI”.
We, the AI + Art program at the ETH AI Center, are looking for 1 or 2 passionate master students or phd students who want to gain practical knowledge interested in GANs, deepfake human avatar and optionally speech synthesis (and of course art) as well as Post-Docs as supervisors who would like to jointly work with artist Nora Al-Badri to create a GAN / deepfake for a commission of a large museum in Germany where the work will be shown as a permanent installation over the course of several years, as well as for European art biennials.
We want to generate a deepfake video presenting a positive and constructive message, that is collectively written by various outstanding scientists, artists and activists. The representative figure of the museums will be performing this message in the form of a deepfake. The idea of the artworks is to equally respond to ethical questions of identity theft on the level of technology (AI) as well as on the level of museum collections consisting of artefacts from other cultures.
Nora Al-Badri is a multi-disciplinary and conceptual media artist with a German-Iraqi background. Her works are research-based as well as paradisciplinary and as much post-colonial as post-digital. She graduated in political sciences at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt/Main. Her practice focuses on the politics and the emancipatory potential of new technologies such as machine intelligence or data sculpting, non-human agency and transcendence. Al-Badri’s artistic material is a speculative archaeology from fossils to artefacts or performative interventions in museums and other public spaces, that respond to the inherent power structures. She has exhibited in major museums around the world.
