The Politics of Tech Resistance
The Politics and Tools of Tech Resistance; Pyongyang VR teleports you inside North Korea;.Tribeca & Draw Me Closeâ The Raw Space Experience
Just over 100 days since President Trumpâs inauguration Clickâs Alison van Diggelen explores the notion of tech resistance, especially at the University of Californiaâs Berkeley campus. She finds that technologists have woken up to the part they can play in the political conversation; that despite being at the epicentre of high tech, old school methods still have their place; and that some techies are keen to display their non- partisan credentials.
A new start-up has just filmed a unique VR/360 film in North Korea. It gives people the chance to explore Pyongyang like Google street view, teleporting from place to place. It is one of several remarkable experiments with VR.
Lauren Hutchinson reports on the premiere of Draw Me Close a world first in terms of VR and theatre, and one of the highlights of this yearâs Tribeca Film Festival.
Collaborating with inventors Nokia Bell Labs, and technologists Design I/O, singer songwriter Beatie Wolfe has created a âworldâs firstâ way to âstreamâ an album in the digital age - incorporating real-time AR visuals. Click talks to Beatie Wolfe about the launch of âThe Raw Space Experienceâ
