"You can transform and reinvent yourself by the things that you learn, and ultimately that can help you become the best version of yourself or help you empower others with the knowledge that you’ve gained.”


We’re excited that Lupe Fiasco will be working with MIT Prof. Nick Montfort and #MITVirtuality director Prof. @FoxHarrell to blend the worlds of rap and computing.

Misinformation is a term for inaccurate info that can take us further from what’s going on in the world. Teachers, guide your classroom discussion about the dangers of misinformation and deepfakes with the @MITVirtuality video “In Event of Moon Disaster.” moondisaster.org

In Event of Moon Disaster - Home

What if the moon landing had gone wrong? In Event of Moon Disaster presents an alternative history using deepfake tech showing its potential for misinformation.

Learn how misinformation about current events in 2020 to 2021 became widespread, in this video from NOVA’s digital series, Misinformation Nation. bit.ly/3HLOgf6

Harrell also serves as the Director of @MITVirtuality. His research explores the relationship between imagination and computation and involves inventing new forms of VR, computational narrative, videogaming for social impact, and related digital media forms.

“I’m interested in the ways virtual identities can be used to encourage social change. Artful uses of tech to imagine ourselves are powerful tools for social intervention.” — Meet D. Fox Harrell, MIT Prof of Digital Media & AI: bit.ly/ArtfulTech @MIT_CMSW + @MITCSAIL

As our physical and virtual worlds become increasingly blended, how can we make sense of manipulated media? @MITVirtuality's Fox Harrell says digital forensics, legislation, and verification can help—but public literacy and critical thinking are crucial. bit.ly/3u5D0EJ
