It sometimes feels like“big tech” is coming to get us, from its roots in military structures, and an overall drive to replace human connection with convenience, but what if we could “glitch” the system? From hacking Tamagotchi’s into garden sensors, to how guerilla gardening can reclaim our cities, and building “softer” technologies that bring together communities, Kalpana shares an alternate, more joyful version of nature and technology co-existing.
