SPRING 2024 POLYMATHIC PIZZA SERIES

A Renaissance of the Renaissance

Our spring series will be loosely organized around the provocative and insightful anthology, Renaissance Futurities: Science, Art, Invention.  We will examine the lineage of Renaissance polymaths’ imaginings reflected in present (and future?) technologies and concerns, including misinformation, medicine, automatons and AI, and artistic endeavors.

Each spring session will be paired with an Ahmanson Lab workshop on a related topic.
