From an ecological point of view, this investigation tells us the rise of an invention of the 1990s: streaming. THE must-have technology and its exponential carbon footprint are now uncotrollable, to the point of raising the question of its survival. 

By 2025 the emissions emitted by digital technology will be almost equal to those emitted by automobiles worldwide.
To manufacture a RAM stick you need 16,000 times its weight.
To make a car you need 54 times its weight.
There is nothing as raw material intensive among all that mankind has produced as the core of the electronic components used for streaming.
Just like there was an oil shock, do we need a digital shock to make it more sustainable...?

Everyday, 6 billion emojis punctuate our virtual messages! This playful investigation into the world of emojis questions the evolution of language and the growing influence of Big Tech.

In September 2020, the WWF announced that the Living Planet Index had fallen by 68% between 1970 and 2016. Each year, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species grows longer.  

But how do we measure the loss of biodiversity, when around 80% of the world's living species are still unknown?

Vaccines have revolutionised the way diseases are treated: polio, tuberculosis, measles, tetanus, etc. Today, to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, all hopes are pinned on vaccine campaigns. But how can we gauge the impact of a vaccine? 

In this episode of Data Science, we put this question under the microscope.

Dynamic economic growth is often associated with improved morale and well-being of individuals. But what do economic indicators really measure and can they capture something as complex as happiness? 

GDP, HDI, IHDI, Happiness Index, etc. In this episode of Data Science, we take a look at these indices that are so popular with economists.

In 2018, humanity consumed 84 million tonnes of fish products from the oceans. Is this more than the marine environment can handle? 

In this episode of Data Science, we look at the concept of ocean overexploitation and how to assess it.

By the 1960s, legendary conceptual artist Donald Judd had grown tired of New York. That's when he remembered Marfa, a cowboy village lost in West Texas--the perfect place, he thought, to be free at last. Judd, icon of the founders of minimalism, ended up turning the town into one of the world's leading places for contemporary art.

Today, despite the artist's death in 1994, Marfa still acts as a magnet for artistic refugees. What are all these modern-day "Marfians" looking for? In five subjective and suggested portraits, I [art] MARFA is a poetic postcard, sent from an eerie Texas ghost town that never destined itself to so much strangeness.
