Data Brilliant

In the newest episode of Data Brilliant, Joe chats to Imogen Heap. A Grammy Award-winning artist and self-proclaimed data enthusiast, Imogen is harnessing the power of data in her music and beyond. She has worked with a team of developers to create a gestural musical device – gloves – powered by technology and data allows her to create music with quite literally, the flick of her finger. She shares with Joe how this technology is pushing her beyond her initial creative boundaries, to new heights and to creating entirely new music. Yet, her love for data doesn’t stop there. They also discuss how her new project, the Creative Passport, will put the power back into creators’ hands. Joe and Imogen explore all of this and how ultimately, good data has the ability to impact and improve the world for musicians.

Talking to the dangerous impact misinformation can – and has - had around the world, Joe and Joel discuss how NCRI is using data to track and expose this epidemic of virtual deception. Throughout the discussion, they also stress the need to create a data-literate world, so everyone can have access to the tools that will help them improve their critical thinking skills, question and challenge the information they’re given. As they explain, this ultimately needs to start in schools so that everyone growing up today has the ability to make sense of online manipulation to encourage and drive transparency and trust.
