Curated by algorithms and powered by visitor’s personal data, Spectre is an immersive installation that subverts the secret technologies used by surveillance capitalists to influence our decisions online and in the voting booth. Via dark design and subtle user manipulation, Spectre interrogates new forms of computational propaganda including psychometric profiling, hyper-personalization, gamification and ‘deep fake’ AI technology.

Having received global media coverage and kickstarted intense debate around deep fake technologies and their impacts on democracy, Spectre is a provocative installation that creates space to explore and interrogate the deeper ethical and moral implications of surveillance capitalism on privacy, trust, truth and democracy.

In the lead up to the US 2020 Elections, as lawmakers struggle to reign in the power of tech giants and combat large-scale misinformation campaigns on social media, Spectre invites audiences to worship at the altar of Dataism with the gods of Silicon Valley. Feel the power of the digital manipulation machine and learn the secrets of their black box technologies as you manipulate others through their personal data. The only cost of admission is your privacy.

This project is part of the Future Art and Culture programme at SXSW 2020 presented by British Underground and supported by funding from Arts Council England.

Spectre is created by Bill Posters and Daniel Howe.
