Authenticity Unmasked: Unveiling AI-Driven Realities Through Art 

Informatics Forum exhibition

7th August 25 - 17th August 25

PAST EVENT: This was part of the EAF25 programme.

​​This new showing at the Edinburgh College of Art’s Informatics Forum prompted reflection on when authenticity matters and what shapes perceptions of human versus AI-mediated content. Authenticity Unmasked featured three new artworks by Georgia Gardner, Kinnari Saraiya, and dmstfctn.

AI-generated content has reshaped how we perceive truth and authenticity. From viral deep fakes to AI-altered political videos designed to manipulate public opinion, digital authenticity becomes increasingly uncertain. AI tools even have the possibility to rewrite personal history, generating images of moments that never existed, or altering past memories. The artworks presented in Authenticity Unmasked exhibition challenged understandings of authenticity, engaging audiences in questions such as: when does authenticity in digital content matter to us? What influences our perception of what is real or fabricated? What shapes our trust in human-made creations?
