Much of the technology we take for granted was conceived over decades, forged by an ongoing collaboration between researchers, artists and the keenest engineering minds in the world. As the science fiction of days past becomes everyday reality, where will the next great ideas come from? Listen in as today’s most adventurous and creative thinkers unleash their ideas for a more connected, productive and humane world.

“Our ability to share emotions at a distance using technology is non-existent, and we’re trying to build those aspects into what we do” – Domhnaill Hernon, Nokia Bell Labs. Why has the world’s preeminent communications research facility thrown in its lot with a crew of up and coming multimedia artists? On this episode, we’ll explore Bell Labs’ relaunch of the groundbreaking Experiments In Art and Technology (E.A.T.) initiative, and hear firsthand from some of the Artists in Residence about the work they’re creating. Turns out their collaboration with research teams across the company is yielding unforeseen - and entirely welcome - outcomes for all parties.
