Now: Easy to Fool? Journalism in the Age of Deepfakes with @pcheung630, @jeremygilbert, @kellymcb and Matthew Stamm of Drexel University. #SXSWDeepfakes
There have been synthetic media almost since the beginning of "media," notes @jeremygilbert. Heroic photos of Lincoln, for example, were toyed with to make him look good. #SXSWDeepfakes
Nowadays. some videos can't even be proof that something happened, says @jeremygilbert. Deepfakes are a small subset of synthetic media. They're the ones generated with AI. #SXSWDeepfakes #SXSW19

NEW: We just launched a campaign at #SXSW2019 to demand @CBP & @ICEgov put a stop to hieleras— “ice boxes” migrants are held in at the border.

RT #AbolishICEBox

@JerrySilguero & @yocelyn_riojas created this powerful exhibit.

It's free @ 308 Guadalupe St Austin today & tomoro.
The hielera is a large room w/frigid temperatures similar to conditions in ICE holding cells.

We’re playing an audio story of our client recounting her time held in one & projecting the translation of the audio.
We’ve created sculptures of children because thousands have spent time in these hieleras.

In December, a 5-month-old toddler was hospitalized w/pneumonia after spending five days in a hielera.

Each child has a flower inside representing growth, dreams, & aspirations.
