ArtSpeaks | Trevor Paglen

Friday, March 6, 6 – 7 PM

Welcome to the world of the weird: How infrastructure, AI, mind control, and psyops are rewiring reality. In this talk, Trevor Paglen looks at the strange systems that shape how we see and understand the world today. From the cables under the ocean to the satellites overhead, from algorithms that guess what we’re thinking to media designed to steer what we believe — Paglen traces how power hides in plain sight. Mixing art, technology, and investigation, he explores how artificial intelligence, surveillance, and psychological operations are changing what’s real, what’s fake, and what we can even know.
