Generative Artifice

January 2024 | Made in collaboration with Case Miller at UnionDocs

Just as Orson Welles’ F for Fake explored the interplay between facts, forgery, and filmmaking by playing with the technical editing processes that create films, GENERATIVE ARTIFICE seeks to understand the implications of Generative AI on the world in a moment where its impact seems both inevitable and inscrutable.

This documentary mixes traditional interviews and archival footage with street style interviews, synthetic characters, emerging technologies, new types of archival images, and deep technical explorations to create a framework for understanding the societal and aesthetic implications of GENERATIVE AI on the world today.
