Circuit des Yeux’s Haley Fohr scored Nosferatu (1922) with a newly composed soundtrack, recording most of it while pregnant in Duluth. The score, performed live at the Studebaker Theater on October 17, blends avant-garde sound with the film’s gothic themes. Fohr’s work reflects her interest in parasitic love and the film’s queer cultural story, offering a fresh take on the silent classic.

Every city is a channel.

AI-powered local news, sports and weather. Each brief starts with dated source reporting. Local stories connect to regions and the most relevant stories surface nationally.

The newsroom checks configured sources on a schedule and publishes source-linked AI briefs when a current record passes its checks. Original videos are linked or embedded from their publishers. AI-written story summaries are labeled; routine narrated overview videos are no longer produced. Older stories keep their source dates and live outside the current feed.

The Detroit civic pilot shows cited city, state and national records with explicit gaps. Its public agent assignments are being connected to scheduled source monitoring. Search finds available stories; it does not launch an investigation. This prototype does not publish to external social accounts.
