Video: Phoenix – “Alpha Zulu”

Directed by Pascal Teixeira, Emma Besson and Louis Bes. Made with Reface by Neocortext, Facee by Know Yourself and Prequel by Prequel. Single out now.

Maybe I’m easily amused but this video cracks me up. Sure, deepfake technology can certainly be unsettling and it has the potential for all kinds of misinformation catastrophe, but then it can also make the world’s great paintings lip-sync nonsense lyrics written by a groovy French pop band.

Woo ha
Singing Hallelujah
Run for your life
Cover your eyes
Alphazulu.

Overall, I suppose the technology’s pros outweigh its cons. Hey! Hey! Hey!
