Art and tech. At first glance, they seem to pair up just about as well as ice and fire. Art is impulse, emotion, incongruity. Tech is structure, logic, analytics. But dig a bit deeper, and you’ll find that the word “technology” comes to us from the Greek “techne” meaning “art skill, craft, and cunning of hand.” The corporate tech world is ingrained with art in its endless forms. The connection is tangled and latent. Imagine how generative and lavish it could be. The artistic and the rational minds are two sides of the same coin – both tap into the right brain world of the creative.
The works of Leonardo Da Vinci best embody this beautiful dichotomy; the same mind that gave us The Last Supper also gave us technical drawings of the human body, machines, and weapons of war. So, it stands to reason that the creative mind of the software engineer, the front-end developer or product manager can benefit from the continuous engagement with art. Creative expression of any kind sparks the imagination. From prehistoric painting of rhinoceroses in the cave to AI art phenomenon. That’s why it makes sense to introduce tech and business professionals to as many visual art and design experiences as possible.
Amedeo, a team of artists and designers steeped in Silicon Valley culture, has devised an innovative arts program that gets your people out of their offices and cubicles and into the art studio within reach. Through this open-ended experience, artistic talent is encouraged; newbies and wannabes, as well as amateur painters and sculptors, work in a relaxing and nurturing environment. Amedeo is about learning, discovery, and social connection. We envision techie artist exhibits where companies line their corridors and lounges with the best of these drawings, paintings, and mixed media. Silicon Valley’s connection to the local arts community, art and design-related projects and events is enhanced by introducing the original work of the most innovative contemporary artists to a new and curious audience. Amedeo gives you this luxury. The advantage of mastering your creative spark.
