According to something I read recently “President Nixon had a speech ready, in case the Apollo 11 mission to the moon failed in 1969. MIT’s Center for Advanced Virtuality got their hands on it and created this fake video of Nixon remembering the astronauts. It was created to show the power of so-called deepfake videos.”

You can find Nixon’s actual full contingency plans here at the US National Archive.

You can find the film of the art installation here.
