Week 9 Studio: The Tell begins

Assignment 3 opens — analysing a provided sample of real or synthetic media and writing the case for your verdict.

23 September 2027

Before the session#

Nothing to prepare — samples are distributed in the studio itself, so nobody has time to research the specific piece in advance.

In the session#

Each person or pair receives a sample (image, audio or short video) that may or may not be synthetic, and a briefing from Naledi on which of this week’s detection techniques are realistic to apply with the tools available in the studio. The rest of the session is a working start on Assignment 3, “The Tell”: not a verdict yet, just the first pass of analysis.

Afterwards#

“The Tell” runs across two studios; see the assessment page for what the final write-up needs to contain.
