Step into the extraordinary world of Jaron Lanier—computer scientist, musician, author, and one of the foremost thinkers on artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.

 

At his Bay Area home, you and your guests will enjoy a rare, intimate tour of Lanier’s legendary collection of more than one thousand unique musical instruments gathered from around the world. Then, experience an improvised musical performance that brings these instruments to life in Lanier’s hands.

 

Throughout his career, Lanier has explored the profound relationship between music, technology, and meaning. A central theme of his work is that music is a spiritual process, not a product—an expression of life itself, rather than something to be manufactured or consumed. He cautions against the notion of machines creating “perfect” music, arguing that this would strip away the essence of human creativity, connection, and joy.

 

Following the tour and performance, linger in Lanier’s garden for a wine and seasonal bites happy hour—an opportunity to reflect on art, technology, and the future in the company of one of today’s most original minds.

 

THE EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:

Private tour of Jaron Lanier’s personal instrument museum (over 1,000 instruments).

Live performance and conversation with Jaron Lanier.

Garden happy hour.

For up to four (4) guests.

 

To be scheduled on a mutually agreeable date in 2025–2026.
