Digital Fantasies is my Senior thesis project exploring the ethics of creating and consuming non-consensual AI generated pornography. Over the course of a year long study, the project consists of a clock, website, exhibition, and book containing all research and design process.

Brief look at early stage mind mapping and sketches.


Visual exploration began by iterating the key points of the social issue in the form of a clock. I used C++ code to translate explicit images of the female body into ASCII art. Given ASCII art’s effectiveness when viewed from a distance, it was an ideal visual communication method for displaying across a room on a wall. Everything was hand laser-cut and assembled.

Students’ clocks were auctioned to fundraise for the Senior Exhibition at the 17th Annual Graphic Design Poster Show. My clock was sold for $85.00 USD.

After developing the clock, I designed and coded a micro-site testing users on their ability to detect deepfakes. Given AI’s rising prevelancy with Generation Z, I conducted a series of 4 user interviews ranging from the ages of 21-27 in support of my product proposal. The UX flow of the site is short and direct, in consideration of Gen Z’s generally short attention spans. The website was coded in VS Studio Code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. AI was used in assitance to making the website wireframe.




The final exhibition took place from May 7th to May 11th, 2025. A final book encompassing the thesis and my senior year was also presented with the exhibit.

 Key features of the exhibit include a brief context and history of deepfakes, interactive cards bringing to life the website, quotes from victims, case studies, and information on methods of deepfake creation.
