Join our outdoor painting workshop this Wednesday in Rentenwiese park next to Zürichsee. Whether alone, with a lover or friends, we’d be delighted to save a seat for you. [Tickets are here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/courses-seminars/art-culture/lakeside-painting-in-zuerich-10-seats-7471825748908626928.html), 20CHF per person. **Please bring a blanket or towel as we will be sitting on grass.** If you didn’t manage to grab a spot this time, keep an eye out for next sessions, announced soon. **What to expect?** * A painting station: a 20x20 cm canvas, brushes, pallette and acrylic paint. * A painting subject: a bouquet of fresh flowers. * A mentor: Melanie Starling is an experienced artist and painter, with a short introduction to her at the end of the event description. * Leaving the session with an original painting in hand and a lovely story about meeting goodhearted people from near and far. All skill levels and styles are welcome, with Melanie at your disposal if you’d like skilled guidance and kind feedback. It is also completely fine to prefer to work meditatively without interruption. You are free to bring along some drinks or snacks of your choice - this afternoon is exclusively for your enjoyment. **Introducing your mentor:** Ms. Starling has well over 8 years of experience in creating art, from fast live sketches to large scale paintings. Notably, she has lengthy experience in the digital illustrations for books, magazines and music album covers. From 2025, Melanie has devoted herself to acrylic painting - her central theme being the wonders and oddities of experiencing life as a human being. With Melanie's educational background in health and biology, art for her has been a place of retreat from the maximal precision and objectivity of STEM research.

🎨 **Latte Stories goes Art Stories** Create your own landscape painting while enjoying coffee, cake and creativity **Register here:** https://www.hands-on-art.com/event-details/latte-stories-goes-art-stories **📅 Wednesday, 17 June** **🕑 14:00–16:00** **📍 Latte Stories, Cham (Zug)** **Have you always wanted to paint but didn't know where to start?** This workshop is your invitation to spend a creative summer afternoon in the beautiful setting of Latte Stories. Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you'll be guided step by step in creating your own landscape painting on canvas. No artistic talent or previous experience is required. Just bring your curiosity. Together, we'll explore loose painting, an intuitive painting approach inspired by Berlin-based artist Christina Mallet. Instead of focusing on perfection or copying every detail, you'll learn how to capture the atmosphere and feeling of a landscape with expressive brushstrokes, colour and your own artistic interpretation. We'll work from inspiring landscape images, such as views of Zug and iconic mountain scenery, while discovering how freeing it can be to paint with less pressure and more trust in the process. **✨ What is included?** • A guided 2-hour painting workshop with Laura Latacz from Hands-on Art • All painting materials • A 30 x 40 cm canvas to take home • Acrylic paints, pencils and brushes • A drink of your choice • A piece of cake of your choice • Personal guidance in a small group setting **Price** 89 CHF (including art materials, guidance, a drink of your choice and a piece of cake) And if the weather is on our side, we'll paint outside in the shade and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Latte Stories. By the end of the afternoon, you'll leave with your own unique artwork—and perhaps a different perspective on what creativity can feel like. This workshop is perfect for anyone in Zug and the surrounding area who would like to explore painting in a welcoming, supportive environment. **✨ Places are limited to keep the experience personal, so early booking is recommended.** I look forward to creating with you! Laura **Your host** **Laura Latacz** Founder & Therapeutic Art Coach Hands-on Art (since 2020) Laura, your host, prepares each workshop with care and intention.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Can Artificial Intelligence ‘See’?”** A look at how humans and artificial intelligence systems interpret the visual world in fundamentally different ways, with Arryn Robbins, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Richmond and cognitive scientist who researches visual attention, perception, and category learning. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see) .] Artificial intelligence can now identify faces, categorize objects, describe scenes, and outperform humans on certain visual tasks. But does AI actually “see” the world the way that people do? Or does it arrive at correct answers using representations that differ markedly from human perception? Join Arryn Robbins of the University of Richmond for a fascinating exploration of how humans and AI construct meaning from visual information and a look at comparisons between human perception and AI that reveal just how dynamic and context-dependent our own visual systems really are. Dr. Robbins, who previously has given excellent Profs and Pints talks on flaws and biases in human visual perception, will draw from research in cognitive science, visual perception, and AI vision systems. She’ll explain how human perception is not merely a simple recording of the world, but an active process shaped by expectations, context, goals, and recent experience. You’ll learn how humans form flexible mental representations that allow us to recognize objects across changing environments and conditions, and why those representations continuously adapt as we interact with the world. Many AI systems, by contrast, learn visual categories through statistical patterns in data. They can produce impressive results, but sometimes they also produce strange and unexpected failures, and sometimes they classify images in ways that seem strange to us. Dr. Robbins will discuss what these differences reveal about the nature of perception itself, and why the mismatch between human and AI representations matters for technologies like self-driving cars, medical imaging, facial recognition, and automated surveillance. Important for anyone trying to understand the rapidly growing role of AI in daily life, this talk will explore one of the biggest questions in cognitive science and artificial intelligence: What does it actually mean to “see” and understand the world? (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: “Eye Farm” by Nevit Dilmen (Wikimedia Commons).
