ABOUT
What happens to us as humans, our humanity, living in an algorithmic society? As part of MSU’s Ethics Week programming, MSUFCU Arts Power Up artist-in-residence Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm joins Maral Zakharia, associate professor in the MSU College of Communication Arts and Sciences, and Steven L. Bridges, senior curator and director of curatorial affairs, to discuss Falkenstrøm’s new artwork, Synthetic Sirens. Part talk, part immersive experience—this event is at the intersection of art, technology, and ethical considerations today.
We’d love to see you at this event!
This event is presented in partnership with the MSU Ethics Institute, Arts MSU, and MSU’s Department of Advertising and Public Relations, College of Communication Arts and Sciences.
On view Jan. 31–Jul. 12, 2026, Synthetic Sirens is a gallery-sized installation developed out of generative machine-learning models and artificial intelligence programs, revealing both the limits of, and opportunities within, our algorithmic societies.
