Female characters in The Warriors are depicted as strong, determined, and often aggressive, in contrast to some of the male characters. <\/p>\n<p><em>Generative Adversarial Network<\/em> uses AI classifiers to profile visitors\u2019 faces based on a variety of gender-related markers, and then uses a customized version of the notorious Deepfakes algorithm to switch visitors\u2019 faces into the film. Faces swap at a variety of speeds and resolutions, and do not attempt to be seamless in all cases. <\/p>\n<p>Deepfakes uses a generative adversarial network (GAN), which means two neural networks battle each other in order to try to find a solution that each is satisfied with. Both the original scene in the film, and this deepfakes interpretation enact themes of gender fluidity and performance by switching and swapping between male and female faces and reversing roles of aggressor and target. Viewers are assigned roles within the scene based upon how they are classified and measured by the profiling system. <\/p>\n<\/tr>\n<td valign = \"top\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\nWith thanks to the Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media (DXARTS), University of Washington.
