Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s Synthetic Dawn Chorus at Toledo Museum of Art Draws Attention to Bird Population Decline

Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s “Machine Auguries: Toledo” opens at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA), Ohio, marking the British and South African artist’s first US solo show and largest indoor installation yet. Ginsberg’s immersive environment simulates the natural dawn chorus of regional birds, but slowly shifts from natural calls to AI-generated ones. Drawing on tens of thousands of field recordings from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for AI training, Ginsberg problematizes progress in times of ecological disruption.
