Be Aware

2024

The short video aims to raise awareness about the dangers of deepfake technology, particularly how quickly and easily private individuals can become victims. The story follows Leonie, a 22-year-old woman who carelessly takes selfies and posts them on her Instagram account, enjoying the likes but unaware of the looming threat of deepfakes. In the background and without her knowledge, her images are manipulated through deepfake software. These are misused to create pornographic material, and when she discovers this, she is deeply shocked. The video concludes with a personal commentary that illuminates the duality of deepfake technology. The message is clear: Deepfake is a technology that can affect not only celebrities but anyone. It calls for caution and awareness when handling personal images on the internet.
