Surreal

Surreal is a monthly tech talk event series & technical community run by Premise in collaboration with our sponsors (Fenwick, SVB, Colliers). The event series is held at art galleries as we believe that technologists are inspired by creative environments when they invent new technology products, & that the same creativity that inspires artists, inspires technologists.

Our manifesto:

Surreal products are created when a research breakthrough rapidly meets a consumer behavior shift.

The speed of this latent unlock creates a reality distortion field, a narrative violation.

It's not just improbable, it seems impossible.

The premise is first questioned, then fought, & then shaken.

But then a small group of people finds your work - & it's what they've been looking for their whole life.

They fought & clawed for an answer despite the experts' heeding that it wasn't possible.

And then they met you. Your research redefines what's possible.

You make the surreal, real.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic - Arthur C. Clarke
