My Deepfake Dad: Conversation 1 by Sarah Sweeney published on 2022-10-15T12:26:12Z My Deepfake Dad is a series of conversations produced through interactions with an audio deepfake of my father, who died twenty-eight years ago. These conversations will explore death, our relationship, and his struggle with being a writer and a father. I will construct my father’s side of these conversations through visits to mediums and spiritualists, empty chair therapy sessions, interactions with AI text generators, found footage, and conversations with my family. This series asks the question “Now that I have a deepfake of my dad’s voice, what should he say, and why?” This is the first conversation in a series. It is shaped by interviews with my mother and sisters. Genre Storytelling
