Modern Art for the Technology Workers - Discover the missing part of yourself

Writing code or designing electronic circuits is an art in itself, but how familiar are you with art in a common sense, the painting art? Connecting to this cultural tradition has a practical benefit as well: you can engage in more sophisticated conversations at venture capitalists' parties, looking for investors for your high-tech startup.

Mila Ilyina, an author of numerous articles on the anthropology of art and the psychology of creativity, is going to present at Hacker’s Dojo. Mila has taught art history at F1.BayArea Photo Artllab and regularly gives lectures as part of the Russian-language program at the Jewish Community Center of Silicon Valley. Her lectures—previously held at Stanford University and popular among art lovers of all backgrounds—combine intellectual insight with heartfelt storytelling.

Mila delivers lectures in Russian, but we will provide synchronous interpretation.
