Together we explore the significance of living in a world of data, and especially the growing trend of 'digital humans' in the form of chatbots, holograms, deepfakes, ai images and videos, and even tech that revives the dead. The conversations are minimally edited, and serve as an archive of the collective thinking and feeling that is going into the Data Fix project...more Producer/Network Mél Hogan
