For Uplink 39 we were joined by Design Activist, Maral Pourkazemi and Experimental Artist, Addie Wagenknecht. There's never been a more thrilling time for science and exploration - nor a more challenging one for getting the messages across. Join us as we explore the potential and pitfalls of our increasingly wired lives with two experts at the forefront of digital data representation, accessibility, and interpretation.
