Post-topia

With ESTIMATING DOPPELGÄNGERS, Ivona Tau presents four videos—HOPE, RESILIENCE, POST-TOPIA, and RADIOACTIVE—showing AI’s speculative visions of the future through deepfakes of herself. Each piece highlights how AI can create realistic yet misleading narratives, showcasing the concept of AI “bullshitting” as it shares seemingly smart but false insights.

ESTIMATING DOPPELGÄNGERS shifts the focus from the exaggerated fears of AI sentience to the real dangers: deepfake technology, propaganda, and the spread of misinformation. By anthropomorphizing AI, Tau invites viewers to consider the impact of biased data and the power of fabricated truths in shaping perception.
