Deepfake Drag & Queering AI: Jake Elwes [Dreamy Place Festival 2024]
Join us for an insightful talk by Jake Elwes, a pioneering artist at the intersection of artificial intelligence and creativity. Discover how Jake harnesses AI to push the boundaries of artistic expression, with a special focus on The Zizi Project – an innovative exploration of identity and technology. This event will feature examples of Jake’s AI-driven creations.
Jake Elwes is an artist, hacker, radical faerie and researcher living in London. Jake’s work finds unusual ways of demystifying, mapping and subverting technology searching for poetry and narrative in the successes and failures of digital systems. Works include deepfake drag in The Zizi Project and reframing AI generated marsh birds back into nature in CUSP. Their work calls for us to challenge who builds these systems and for what purpose, and whether we as artists and queers can reclaim these technologies to build our own digital utopias.
