Computer algorithms shape our lives and increasingly control our future. They have crept into virtually every aspect of modern life and are making life-changing choices on our behalf, often without us realising. But how much power should we give to them and have we let things go too far? Joanna Bale talks to Ken Benoit, Andrew Murray, Seeta Peña Gangaradhan, Alison Powell and Bernhard Von Stengel.

Yay. A bio.

- Love music; all types (except death metal)

- Like to sing acapella as I can sing it in my own time 

- Aim to discover new musicians every week

I’m not a triple threat*, but I used to be. (Memory, all alone in moonlight…)

Some non music stuff to know about me:

~ I love movies and TV shows. Animation to Horror = <3

~ Travelling is my best friend (who I don’t see often)

~ I’ve had a hella crazy life XD


*Triple Threat: Can act, sing and dance… anything you can do, they can probably do it better.
