Episode #20 - What Lies Beneath the Surface: Infrastructure Groundtruth with Ingrid Burringon [ 55:25 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
This is The OKCast Episode 20. In this episode, I talk with Ingrid Burrington, a researcher and artist using technology and mapping to explore interesting, often unseen places. I met Ingrid at an Open Knowledge Festival 2014 fringe event in Berlin this past summer, where she gave a presentation entitled Internet Groundtruth, which explored the (mostly) hidden infrastructure of the world’s biggest network – the Internet – using untraditional methods. What Ingrid is uncovering is unique and exciting, and she shares it, and other projects, with us in this interview. You can find Ingrid on Twitter and online at www.lifewinning.com.
It’s a wandering interview and we cover a lot of topics – tune in for a lot of mindblowing new ways of thinking!
