Can We Still Trust What We See?
When images can be generated, manipulated, and mistaken for reality, seeing is no longer believing. This project questions the fragile relationship between visual evidence, perception, and trust in the age of artificial intelligence.
A Test of Perception
Participants encounter sets of four videos and must distinguish authentic footage from AI-generated imagery. Each decision tests their confidence in what they see, turning the act of looking into an experience of uncertainty.
When Certainty Breaks
Every incorrect choice leaves a crack across the viewing window. After four mistakes, the window collapses, transforming the invisible erosion of visual trust into a physical experience of failure.
Why a Broken Window?
When the window breaks, so does our trust in seeing.
Inspired by the Broken Windows Theory introduced by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling (1982), this project reimagines how a single visible fracture can signal a larger breakdown.
Here, the window becomes a metaphor for visual trust. Each incorrect judgment leaves a crack, gradually weakening our confidence in distinguishing reality from artificial imagery. After four mistakes, the window collapses—not because reality disappears, but because our trust in what we see has shattered.
A window represents the boundary between ourselves and the world we believe we see. Each incorrect judgment creates a crack, symbolizing the gradual erosion of visual trust. As fractures accumulate, the window eventually collapses—not because reality has disappeared, but because our confidence in recognizing it has shattered.
