Abstract 

AI and Deepfake have become a trend for creating media through photographs, videos, and voice manipulations through prompts. This feature generates results quickly and simply with high accuracy. Advanced technology has shaped people’s approach to obtaining information and polishing creative skills. Visual media like photography and video need convincing figures or narratives to get the audience’s attention. For example, the video deepfake of Suharto (originally written as Soeharto) showed that a famous leader is powerful enough to influence Indonesians for the election. However, this causes risks of collective memory remodification into a disinformation of history. Could it follow the other media like photography that must re-curate the authenticity to speak the truth? How can political art and history be comprehended in this contemporary period? This paper highlights what we can learn from AI in the context of history through video and photography. Moreover, the application of artwork to learn history questions whether we should redevelop or stay authentic without reducing the accuracy of information. 

Keywords: Deepfake, video, photography, history, memory, art.
