Reclaiming Digital Agency Art, Research & Resistance...
summary
Artists and researchers describe concrete projects: a Marshall McLuhan chatbot built to test persona-based hallucination, a toyboy.deepfake exhibit and deep‑fake removal/debate work, satirical predictive‑policing software that gets misread as real, and fashion police drones that classify gendered clothing — all used to surface harms (deepfake porn, surveillance, algorithmic bias) and to stress-test law and policy. Conversation details funding gaps, prefers small models and cultural infrastructure over unicorns, and shows art works well to provoke debate but sometimes backfires.
