The Effects Of Deepfakes And Synthetic Media On Communication Professionals, Axel Ebermann
The Effects Of Deepfakes And Synthetic Media On Communication Professionals, Axel Ebermann
Student Theses and Dissertations
The spread of misinformation and disinformation is regarded as one of the most salient challenges for communication professionals around the world.
Now, a new technology called "DeepFakes" or “Synthetic Media” has the potential to further uproot the infosphere. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will enable the mass creation of synthetic audio-visual content that resembles real videos, in which people will appear to say or do things they never actually said or did.
The existing literature predominantly focuses on three aspects of DeepFakes and Synthetic Media: the technical background, coverage of preexisting DeepFakes and possible solutions to combat the malicious use of the …

Pictorial Communication, Nada Gatalo
Pictorial Communication, Nada Gatalo
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The primary goal of my dissertation is to reconcile an anti-intentionalist account of depiction with an intentionalist account of pictorial communication. I begin by providing an account of depiction and then provide an account of communication and, specifically, pictorial communication. Accordingly, I begin by defining depiction, and reject what I call the ``ambiguity view'' which holds that terms like ``depiction'' and ``representation'' are ambiguous. I argue that P depicts O if the design of P visibly manifests O. This definition of depiction sets up the central task for a theory of depiction: to explain how it is possible for a …
Optimizing Communication In Palliative And Hospice Care: A Toolkit For Audiologists, Sherry E. Queen
Optimizing Communication In Palliative And Hospice Care: A Toolkit For Audiologists, Sherry E. Queen
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age, with age-related hearing loss (ARHL) being one of the most prevalent forms of sensory decline in older adults. Hearing loss is often overlooked in medical settings including palliative and hospice care. Screening for hearing loss in these settings is rare as is formal staff training on assessing and managing hearing loss in palliative and hospice care. An evidence-based toolkit for integrating audiologists into end-of-life care protocols is presented. This toolkit was developed to optimize communication in palliative and hospice care for patients, caregivers, audiologists, physicians, and other palliative care staff. Effective communication …
Water Gets Lost In The Sea, Sun Gets Lost In The Desert, Rocio Paz Guerrero
Water Gets Lost In The Sea, Sun Gets Lost In The Desert, Rocio Paz Guerrero
Theses and Dissertations
The absence of happiness, the absence of nature, the absence of justice, the absence of absence, which is presence. My desire is to make these voids visible and sensible by connecting to and with others, from our intimate and collective life experiences, with empathy, and by sharing. Through a hybrid of sculpture, installation, and performance, I move within this tense in-between space, asking myself about that void, if it is possible for it to be filled, or if it is perhaps too big, or if it is perhaps too late.
The Making Of Transpacific Video Art, 1966–1988, Haeyun Park
The Making Of Transpacific Video Art, 1966–1988, Haeyun Park
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation is the first English-written study that narrates the development of video art through a transnational and inter-regional analysis of Japanese, Korean and Asian-American artworks from the ‘60s to the ‘80s, which played a central role in establishing video as a truly international visual language. My transpacific approach to video art contests nation-based studies of art history and challenges the transatlantic narrative of video art in Anglo-American art historical literature, which has focused on the relation between video art in Western Europe and North America. I articulate the Transpacific as a geopolitical and an intellectual model of interaction between …
