Biography


Todd Siler is a multimedia artist who received a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Psychology and Art from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; in 1986, he became the first visual artist to be awarded a doctorate from M.I.T. He was a Research Affiliate at M.I.T.’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies (1981-83); a Visiting Artist/Scientist at the Computer-Aided Design Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (1986-88 & 1991); an International Advisory Board Member for the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, Korea, as well as a Forum Fellow of the 1999 and 2001 Annual Meetings of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Siler’s published works include Breaking the Mind Barrier (Simon & Schuster, 1990; Touchstone Books, 1997) and Think Like A Genius (Bantam Books, 1996; Penguin Random House, 2017); both books have been translated into many foreign languages. Breaking the Mind Barrier was nominated for the 1994 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Education for “a work of outstanding educational achievement with potential for worldwide impact.” In the early 1990s, Siler founded The ArtScience® Program for Realizing Human Potential (aka, Think Like a Genius® Program) to cultivate creativity, inspire innovative thinking and collaborative learning in diverse people and organizations, addressing real-world challenges.
