Mumbai-based CAMP discusses “DeepFacts,” created with AI "deepfake" software to present Mumbai gallerists Kekoo and Khorshed Gandhy speaking to each other about a range of things being said and written about them, including their corrections of facts mentioned in their biography Citizen Gallery: The Gandhys of Chemould and the Birth of Modern Art in Bombay (Jerry Pinto, 2022). The artwork challenges the populist notion that artificial intelligence is placed within the framework of risk/harm and regulation. Instead, it allows us to see the creative possibilities that this technology enables.
About the Artists: CAMP was founded in 2007 by Shaina Anand, Sanjay Bhangar and Ashok Sukumaran. CAMP is not an "artists collective" but rather a studio in which ideas and energies gather and become interests and forms. CAMP has been producing work in film and video, electronic media, and public art forms in a practice characterized by a hand-dirtying, non-alienated relation to technology.
MACHINE VISION(S) series is supported by Google's Artists + Machine Intelligence Research Award and the Office Of The Provost at Columbia University. It is a companion to the class Artificial Intelligence & Photography.
