Paranoid Presents

To kick it off we started with Art! Our Berlin offices are located in Mitte surrounded by some of the most famous galleries and museums in Berlin. We choose to hold our event right in the middle of Berlin Art Week. We hosted an evening of talks from artists and tech connoisseurs alike to discuss the convergence of these seemingly disconnected worlds.
