STPP visit to MOCAD: Reclaiming agency: art, technology, and collective futures

STPP is excited to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) for an exhibition and public talk including Ford School alumnus Cezanne Charles (MPA '13). The talk, which runs from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, will consider, "How do we shape the futures being designed around us?" Join artists rootoftwo, Taeyoon Choi, and Mother Cyborg for a conversation about technology, civic life, and the possibilities of collective imagination. The discussion will be moderated by Michael Connor.

Organized on the occasion of rootoftwo's exhibition Anyspace? Whatever., this discussion considers how systems of surveillance, artificial intelligence, and data extraction increasingly shape our public and social worlds. The speakers will explore technology not as a neutral force, but as something shaped by human values, labor, power, and collective choices.

Admission and transportation costs will be covered by the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program and InSPIRE. We will follow up your registration with additional details regarding transportation.
