MSUFCU Arts Power Up artists-in-residence Carl Craig and Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm come together for a conversation exploring art, technology, and creative practice. Moderated by Sophia Saliby of WKAR, the discussion offers insight into how artists working across disciplines imagine and shape the future. We’d love to see you at this event!
This event is presented in partnership with the MSU Museum, Arts MSU, and the MSUFCU Arts Power Up Artist-in-Residency program, which is generously supported by an endowed gift from Michigan State University Federal Credit Union.
On view at the MSU Broad Art Museum from Jan. 31–Jul. 12, 2026, Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm’s 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.
During spring semester 2026, Carl Craig—an internationally renowned Detroit DJ, producer, and techno innovator whose work spans music, performance, and visual art—is working in close collaboration with researchers at Michigan State University’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Through this residency, he is translating complex scientific research and research environments into new creative and conceptual forms. The residency will culminate in a new exhibition at the MSU Museum opening in fall 2026.
