Overview

PhantasIA takes deepfakes seriously. Deepfakes are not a crime but part of a 500-year legacy of ruling through images. It shows that the representation of reality has always been a political construct. In Novopolis, Milovan Krleza disappears as a telecom-built city turns against its workers. PhantasIA uses fiction and false archives to question algorithmic life. Citton distinguishes deceptive deepfakes from imaginative counterfactuals; Bodon expands the concept. In Le Havre, Chatonsky trains an AI on city archives to create a ghost city across past, present and future.
