 924. This special L.A.S.E.R. will pay an interdisciplinary tribute to Kafk
 a with talks from three eminent scholars.\n\n- Stanley Corngold (Professor
  Emeritus at Princeton University) is one of the world’s experts on Kafk
 a\, having published extensively on his work\, including several translati
 ons\, most recently “Expeditions to Kafka”. In 2009 Corngold co-founde
 d and directed the Princeton Kafka Network with Oxford and Humboldt Univer
 sities.\n\n- Ken Krimstein writes and draws cartoons for The New Yorker Ma
 gazine as well as gag cartoons for Harvard Business Review and many other 
 publications. He recently embarked on a graphic narrative aboutthe pivotal
  year in Prague when Einstein became “Einstein\,” Kafka became “Kafk
 a\,” and everything changed forever\, which resulted in the book “Eins
 tein in Kafkaland - How Albert Fell Down the Rabbit Hole and Came Up with 
 the Universe”.\n\n- Media artist Claire Pentecost\, Professor Emeritus a
 t the Art Institute of Chicago\, has exhibited and lectured internationall
 y. Her installations often address the blurred line between the natural an
 d the artificial\, focusing for many years on anthropogenic changes in the
  indivisible living entity that animates our planet.\n\nDetailed bios at: 
 www.lasertalks.com \n\nThe LASERs (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous
 )\, chaired by cultural historian Piero Scaruffi\, are an international pr
 ogram of evening gatherings that bring together artists\, scientists\, inv
 entors and scholars in a variety of disciplines for informal presentations
  and conversation with an audience.\n\nThe Stanford LASERs are co-sponsore
 d by the deans of Humanities and Sciences\, Engineering and Medicine
