Bill Posters (Barnaby Francis) & Daniel Howe

Comprising six “deep fake” works featuring synthesised personas of Marcel Duchamp, Marina Abramović, Mark Zuckerberg, Kim Kardashian, Morgan Freeman and Freddie Mercury, Big Dada was inserted into Instagram as a digital intervention in June 2019. The artists wanted to creatively use ML and AI to hack the personas of celebrity influencers – both past and present – to interrogate privacy, democracy and surveillance.
