Diane Josefowicz and Noah Landow discuss what the Victorians can teach us through their visions of an electromagnetic microworld, their charmingly complex language of flowers, loquacious letter writing, love of densely textured architecture, and joyously decorated aesthetics.

Smart people.
One topic.
Two hours.
Tête-à-Tech is a fireside chat series in our East Village loft. We pour the wine, dim the lights, and put one expert in front of a room of curious people. No panels. No slides. Just a conversation you'll keep thinking about on the train home.
I came expecting a tech talk and left with a moral framework. Two hours, a glass of wine, and a conversation I'm still chewing on a week later.
