If you happen to find yourself in Lansing, Michigan, please be sure to check out ‘Blurred Realities’ A group show at MSU’s Collab Studio. We’re exhibiting Ile Omi: House of water. It’ll be up until summer.
More about the Exhibition:
We immerse ourselves in fairy tales and science fiction, fully aware that some elements are pure fantasy. Yet, we bristle to find out that a viral video was fabricated or that a striking photograph was generated by AI. Why do we so easily accept some fabrications while questioning others? Blurred Realities invites you to examine the dilemmas tied to dis/mis/information, artificial intelligence, and shifting perceptions of truth. This exhibition is not just about deception; it is about the ways our perceptions are shaped, guided, and sometimes manipulated. How do we determine what is real, what is imagined, and what is meant to deceive?
As technology increasingly influences our perspectives, it also amplifies biases, reshapes conversations, and reinforces divisions. In an era where trust is fragile, we must reconsider not just what we see, but how we see and understand. This exhibition challenges you to think critically, to question the narratives you accept, and to recognize the forces that shape your understanding of the world.
As we mark the 250th anniversary of American democracy, these questions take on even greater urgency. A nation built on the ideals of informed debate and collective decision-making must grapple with how truth is constructed, contested, and controlled. Blurred Realities invites us to reflect on how we navigate this evolving landscape—individually and as a society—in pursuit of a more informed future.
