New Ways of Seeing

A new radio programme may be of interest to our design students:
A 4-part radio series authored by journalist and artist James Bridle examining how technology is changing visual culture starts tomorrow (April 17, 2019) on BBC Radio 4.
The Guardian today published an article by Bridle, who describes the ideas behind the series called "New Ways of Seeing", that is interesting in and of itself for anyone curious about the effects of digitisation on how we interact with the world.
In the series, the ideas of John Berger, author of several books already in TU Dublin's Grangegorman Library, such as "Ways of Seeing", will be discussed in terms of the modern digital world.
