Spectre: A Detour Into Dataism
Synopsis
Named after the online persona of Dr. Aleksandr Kogan, the data scientist that sold 87 million Facebook profiles to Cambridge Analytica, SPECTRE is an immersive installation that detournes many of the technologies and methods used by the Digital Influence Industry to influence people’s behaviours and decision making both online and in the voting booth. The installation is micro-curated by algorithms and powered by visitor’s personal data.
SPECTRE creates space for viewers to explore and interrogate the deeper ethical and moral implications that exist concerning the interconnected logics of Dataism, Psychopolitics and Surveillance Capitalism.
The SPECTRE short film is the world's first non-fiction documentary short to embed deep fake technologies as part of narrative story telling.
