Brand New Ways

Sharing pints with Brian Eno, riding a horse through the streets of London, and the digestive tract as a new space for design. In this episode I talk to designer and artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg who uses experimental design approaches to explore the social, political and ecological implications of emerging technologies, primarily those related to synthetic biology. She's currently pursuing her PhD at the Royal College of Art in London.   Music Show Opener: Salt-n-Pepa, Pharrell Williams (with Justin Timberlake), Melanie and Kanye West (feat.
