In Silico

In Silico

MSU Museum, MSU Science Gallery, and the City of East Lansing presents Field of View: An Art x Science Films Series made up of a collection of eight thought-provoking documentaries exploring humankind’s understanding of the world.

In Silico film synopsis:

The story of a synthetic human mind as polarizing as its creator. A young filmmaker sets out to document a brilliant neuroscientist who has become frustrated with his field’s status quo. With time elapsing and millions of dollars on the line, In Silico explores an audacious 10-year quest to simulate the entire human brain on supercomputers. Along the way, it reveals the profound beauty of tiny mistakes and bold predictions — a controversial space where scientific process meets ego, and where the lines between objectivity and ambition blur.

Guests may bring chairs, blankets, and refreshments, and take a seat on the Valley Court Park lawn as crowd-pleasing movies are presented on a state-of-the-art outdoor screen.
