We are joined by Architect and Lecturer Donal Lally to discuss the impact of technology on the environment. His work explores the unintended consequences of human activity around the world, with particular emphasis on the social and environmental implications of data storage facilities in Ireland. Donal shares how this relationship is creatively demonstrated through Entanglement, a visual representation of both how technology and the environment are intertwined, and about Ireland's unique history and role in communications technology.
