Two artists have used deepfake videos in a bid to encourage conversations about AV manipulation. 

Soft Evidence shows events that never happened by machines trained to lie. An erotic love scene between two women uses face-swapping to depict a moment of consensual queer intimacy. 

An original data set was created aligned with their message that "open data sets are not inherently free of problematic issues". To demonstrate the time, labour and resources required when data isn't "free and just there for the taking", a source subject was shot over five days in Mexico City, art directed scenes with a body double and captured facial data.
