Panels is a series of conversations hosted by Modem about our complex relationship with technology, moderated by Emily Segal.

Join us for a conversation on Bootlegging in the Deepfake Era with David Rudnick, self-taught graphic designer, and Reggie James, writer, product designer, and investor.

Some of the topics being explored:
• How do deepfakes reshape the boundaries between homage, appropriation, and theft in cultural production?

• Can a bootlegged identity generate its own cultural value, or is it forever bound to the original?

• When replication is effortless, what new ethics of consent, identity, and representation do we need—if any?
