Welcome to our first episode recorded at the Driving the Human festival in Berlin. In this episode we talked to Andra Pop-Jurj and Lena Geerts Danau who exhibited one of the projects. “Monsters and Ghosts of the Far North“ is an interactive multiplayer experience dealing with alternative forms of cartographing. Based on scientific research and real life data, Andra and Lena created a video game where you can experience the life of a caribou, a bird or other non-human species of the Arctic region. The game also visualizes different scenarios which could happen to the Arctic region in the future due to climate change. In this special episode of the form design podcast, recorded live at the Driving the Human festival in November 2022, we talked to Andra and Lena about their project, their research and their trip to Iceland.
