Distorted Intrusions

Distorted Intrusions examines AI-generated deepfake pornography as a violation of consent and a form of digital exploitation. The project asks how fabricated images can objectify women, circulate harm, and leave real people to carry the consequences.

For the capstone, research was translated into a physical installation: three life-sized sculptural forms made from upcycled materials including plastic bottles, wood, and molded fiber. The figures are intentionally fragmented and distorted, reflecting how AI can commodify a person's image without permission.

Statements appear in red and blue to distinguish victim and exploiter perspectives, while AI-generated voices read phrases from the installation. Displayed on insulation foam that evokes a phone screen, the work keeps the technology present without letting the screen be the only site of impact.

The goal is awareness and accountability. By moving a digital harm into shared space, Distorted Intrusions asks viewers to consider consent, legal protection, and the human cost behind images often treated as disposable.
