Description

In Lend Me Your Face!, a neural network animates a single photo of each participating visitor's face to match "driving videos" of leading public figures.* The deepfakes are displayed in large projections surrounding the public. The visitor is confronted with a very personal encounter of how the most intimate and yet public part of the self, the face and the emotions it expresses, can easily be manipulated and placed in contexts out of their control.
