2016 is the fifth TEDxNapaValley event and returns to the Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center. This year, our speakers will explore the expansive concept of “the figure” which reaches into almost every area of contemporary life. With more data than ever at their fingertips, scientists are using figures to make better decisions by the numbers. In the visual arts, the figure defines or puts into perspective the space around it. And of course the figure refers to the physical body and raises questions about how we understand ourselves as both individuals and integral parts of community.
