November 12, 2026 / 6.00 - 9.00 pm
On 12 November 2026, TEDxTrento will bring together four voices from different worlds at the Trento Philharmonic Hall to explore the boundary between reality and perception, science and imagination, human gaze and artificial vision.
"To me the eyes" is the new TEDxTrento Salon dedicated to vision: not only what we see, but the way we learn to look.
Vision is biology, perception, technology, image, interpretation. It is the meeting point between what enters our eyes and what the brain builds, selects and transforms. Looking means observing, choosing, interpreting. And sometimes questioning what we think we see.
